Some remarks on a spectral correspondence for Maass waveforms (Q2726328)

Formulating a special case of a famous correspondence of H. Jacquet and R. Langlands in classical terms, D. A. Hejhal showed that an integral transform with a Siegel theta series as kernel maps Maaß forms on a Fuchsian group of quaternion type to Maaß forms with the same eigenvalue on a Hecke group \(\Gamma_0(N)\). The subsequent questions of surjectivity and injectivity of the theta operator were answered by J. Bolte and S. Johansson under the assumption of 1-dimensionality of the relevant eigenspaces of the Laplacian.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe paper under review sketches part of the doctoral thesis of the author. By a skillful application of the trace formula for a modular correspondence on a cofinite Fuchsian group, the remaining open questions in the work of Bolte and Johansson on the surjectivity and injectivity of the theta lift are answered completely.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEAs an application the author deduces a certain multiplicity-one result for Maaß wave forms on the norm one unit group of a maximal order in an indefinite rational quaternion division algebra.
