Abstract: We study splitting densities of primitive elements of a discrete subgroup of a connected non-compact semisimple Lie group of real rank one with finite center in another larger such discrete subgroup. When the corresponding cover of such a locally symmetric negatively curved Riemannian manifold is regular, the densities can be easily obtained from the results due to Sarnak or Sunada. Our main interest is a case where the covering is not necessarily regular. Specifically, for the cases of the modular group and its congruence subgroups, we determine the splitting densities explicitly. As an application, we study analytic properties of the zeta function defined by the Euler product over elements consisting all primitive elements which satisfy a certain splitting law for a given lifting.

Review text

Let \(\pi:\widetilde X\to X\) be a finite unramified covering of hyperbolic Riemannian surfaces of finite volume. For a given closed geodesic \(c\) in \(X\) the pre-image \(\pi^{-1}(c)\) consists of finitely many closed geodesics of lengths \(e_1l(c),\dots,e_kl(c)\), where \(l(c)\) is the length of \(c\). The tuple \(e(c)=(e_1,\dots,e_k)\) of natural numbers is a partition of the degree \(n=[\widetilde X:X]\). For a given partition \(p\) of \(n\) the authors give an asymptotic formula for the function \[ \#\{ c: l(c)\leq x,\;e(c)=p\}, \] as \(x\to\infty\). If the covering \(\pi\) is normal, this asymptotic is known as a result of the trace formula. The current result is a quickly drawn consequence of the normal case. The authors fill the rest of the paper with explicit computations of examples such as congruence groups. Reviewer's remarks: The paper lacks precision as some notations are not explained and some results are stated in much larger generality than they can be true.
