Hyperbolic Eisenstein series for geometrically finite hyperbolic surfaces of infinite volume (Q2135408)

The author generalizes constructions of hyperbolic Einstein series. A topologically finite surface is homeomorphic to a compact surface with finitely many points excised and a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface \(M\) is a topologically finite, complete Riemann surface of constant curvature -1. The author requires that there exists a finitely generated, torsion-free, discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\) of \(\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb R)\), unique up to conjugation, such that \(M\) is the quotient of the upper half-plane \(H\) by \(\Gamma\) acting as Möbius transformations, \(\Gamma\) is a Fuchsian group of the second kind, and \(\Gamma\) has no elliptic elements. Let \(\Gamma_1\) be a stabilizer of \(\tilde c\) in \(\Gamma\), where \(\tilde c\) is a component of the inverse image of an oriented simple closed geodesic \(c\). The hyperbolic Einstein series are expressed for \(\text{Re}\,s>0\) as \[\Omega_c(s,z)=\frac{1}{k(s)}\sum_{\Gamma_1\setminus\Gamma}\gamma^*\frac{dx_2}{(\cosh x_2)^{s+1}},\;\;\; k(s):=\frac{\Gamma(\frac{1}{2})\Gamma(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{s}{2})}{\Gamma(1+\frac{s}{2})}.\] The main theorem of the paper deals with a degenerating family \((S_l)_l\) of Riemann surfaces with infinite-area hyperbolic metrics, horocyclic Einstein series and the family of \(C^{\infty}\) 1-forms on \(S_l\) depending meromorphically on \(s\).
