Comparison conjecture for slow and fast transfer operators of Hecke triangle groups

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let Γ\Gamma be a cofinite Hecke triangle group, let ss satisfy Re⁡s=12\operatorname{Re} s=\tfrac12, and let LH,s+\mathcal L_{H,s}^{+} and LH,s−\mathcal L_{H,s}^{-} be the meromorphic extensions of the even and odd transfer operators, respectively. Let FE⁡s(R+)ωdec,+\operatorname{FE}_s(\mathbb R^{+})^{\mathrm{dec},+}_{\omega} and FE⁡s(R−)ωdec,−\operatorname{FE}_s(\mathbb R^{-})^{\mathrm{dec},-}_{\omega} denote the corresponding spaces of period functions.

Comparison conjecture. The space of 11-eigenfunctions of the meromorphic extension of LH,s+\mathcal L_{H,s}^{+} is linearly isomorphic to FE⁡s(R+)ωdec,+\operatorname{FE}_s(\mathbb R^{+})^{\mathrm{dec},+}_{\omega} and hence corresponds to even Maass cusp forms. The space of 11-eigenfunctions of the meromorphic extension of LH,s−\mathcal L_{H,s}^{-} is linearly isomorphic to FE⁡s(R−)ωdec,−\operatorname{FE}_s(\mathbb R^{-})^{\mathrm{dec},-}_{\omega} and hence corresponds to odd Maass cusp forms.

This is proposed as a comparison between the slow and fast discrete dynamical systems arising from the geometric construction. The supplied text does not state whether the comparison has subsequently been proved.
