Abstract: In this note, using a representation theoretic method of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro, we prove the Kuznetsov trace formula for an arbitrary discrete group Gamma in mathrmPGL2(mathbbC) that is cofinite but not cocompact. An essential ingredient is a kernel formula, recently proved by the author, on Bessel functions for mathrmPGL2(mathbbC). This approach avoids the difficult analysis in the existing method due to Bruggeman and Motohashi.


The Kuznetsov trace formula for \(\mathrm{PSL}_2({\mathbb Z})\backslash \mathrm{PSL}_2({\mathbb R})/(\mathrm{SO}(2)/\{\pm I\})\) relates Kloosterman sums and automorphic forms. A representation theoretic proof of Kuznetsov trace formula for \(\mathrm{PGL}_2({\mathbb R})\), in the case of an arbitrary Fuschian group (of the first kind) \(\Gamma\), was given by \textit{J. W. Cogdell} and \textit{I. I. Piatetski-Shapiro} [The arithmetic and spectral analysis of Poincaré series. Boston, etc.: Academic Press, Inc. (1990; Zbl 0714.11032)] in the early 1990's. Their proof is based on the use of Whittaker functions, the full spectral decomposition of \(L^2(\Gamma\backslash G)\), the consideration of Bruhat coordinates (rather than Iwasawa coordinates) along with a kernel formula involving Bessel functions (see (1.1) in the text). In the paper under review, the Kuznetsov trace formula for \(\mathrm{PGL}_2({\mathbb C})\) for an arbitray discrete subgroup of finite covolume (but not cocompact) is proved. The formula generalizes to \(\mathrm{PGL}_2({\mathbb C})\) and \(\mathrm{SL}_2({\mathbb C})\) the formula of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro.
