Abstract: Let $Phi(N)$ denote the number of products of matrices $$ and $$ of trace equal to $N$, and $Psi(N)=su{m}_{n=3}^{N}Phi(n)$ be the number of such products of trace between $3$ and $N$. We prove an asymptotic formula of type $Psi(N)=c_1{N}^{2}logN+c_2{N}^2+O_{v}arepsilon(N^{7/4+varepsilon})$ as $Noinfty$. As a result, the Dirichlet series $su{m}_{n=1}^{i}nftyPhi(n)n^{-s}$ has a meromorphic extension in the half-plane $Re(s)>7/4$ with a single, order two pole at $s=2$. Our estimate also improves on an asymptotic result of Faivre concerning the distribution of reduced quadratic irrationals, providing an explicit upper bound for the error term.
