Publication date 29 April 2006

Spectral theory; trace formulas (e.g., that of Selberg) (11F72) Quadratic forms (reduction theory, extreme forms, etc.) (11H55) Other groups and their modular and automorphic forms (several variables) (11F55)

Abstract: Let

G = S O (3, C)

,

G a m m a = S O (3, Z [i])

,

K = S O (3)

, and let

X

be the locally symmetric space

. In this paper, we write down explicit equations defining a fundamental domain for the action of

G a m m a

on

G / K

. The fundamental domain is well-adapted for studying the theory of

G a m m a

-invariant functions on

G / K

. We write down equations defining a fundamental domain for the subgroup

G a m m a_{Z} = S O (2, 1)_{Z}

of

G a m m a

acting on the symmetric space

G_{R} / K_{R}

, where

G_{R}

is the split real form SO(2,1) of

G

and

K_{R}

is its maximal compact subgroup SO(2). We formulate a simple geometric relation between the fundamental domain of

G a m m a

and

G a m m a_{Z}

so described. These fundamental domains are geared towards the detailed study of the spectral theory of

X

and the embedded subspace
