Local average of the hyperbolic circle problem for Fuchsian groups

Abstract: Let

be a finite volume Fuchsian group. The hyperbolic circle problem is the estimation of the number of elements of the

G a m m a

-orbit of

z

in a hyperbolic circle around

w

of radius

R

, where

z

and

w

are given points of the upper half plane and

R

is a large number. An estimate with error term

e^{2 o v e r 3 R}

is known, and this has not been improved for any group. Recently Risager and Petridis proved that in the special case

taking

z = w

and averaging over

z

in a certain way the error term can be improved to

e^{l e f t (7 o v e r 12 + e p s i l o n i g h t) R}

. Here we show such an improvement for a general

G a m m a

, our error term is

e^{l e f t (5 o v e r 8 + e p s i l o n i g h t) R}

(which is better that

e^{2 o v e r 3 R}

but weaker than the estimate of Risager and Petridis in the case

). Our main tool is our generalization of the Selberg trace formula proved earlier.
