Review text

This is a survey paper on the author's work on statistical properties of automorphic eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a non-compact Riemann surface of finite hyperbolic area. A measure on the space of complete geodesics is constructed from the Fourier coefficients of an eigenfunction. A formula is given for the square of an eigenfunction in terms of this measure. For example, one application of this work gives a version of a result of \textit{W. Luo} and \textit{P. Sarnak} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 81, 207--237 (1995; Zbl 0852.11024)] for the high-energy limit of the modular Eisenstein series in terms of a limit of a finite sum involving the divisor function and the Riemann zeta function. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00017].
