Abstract: This paper initiates the study by analytic methods of the generalized principal series Maass forms on GL(3). These forms occur as an infinite sequence of one-parameter families in the two-parameter spectrum of GL(3) Maass forms, analogous to the relationship between the holomorphic modular forms and the spherical Maass cusp forms on GL(2). We develop a Kuznetsov trace formula attached to these forms at each weight and use it to prove an arithmetically-weighted Weyl law, demonstrating the existence of forms which are not self-dual. Previously, the only such forms that were known to exist were the self-dual forms arising from symmetric-squares of GL(2) forms. The Kuznetsov formula developed here should take the place of the GL(2) Petersson trace formula for theorems "in the weight aspect". As before, the construction involves evaluating the Archimedian local zeta integral for the Rankin-Selberg convolution and proving a form of Kontorovich-Lebedev inversion.


The primary goal of the paper is the appropriate generalization on \(\mathrm{GL}(3)\) of the trace formulae of Kuznetsov, Bruggeman and Petersson. As an application, the paper gives an arithmetically-weighted Weyl law, where the arithmetic weights are the natural weights arising from the first Fourier coefficients of the cusp forms. A key and difficult step in the proof of the main result is the analogue of Stade's formula. Stade's formula the Kontorovich-Lebedev inversion follows, and then Kuznetsov's formula, and finally Weyl's law. For Part I see [the author, Am. J.
