Sarnak–Xue lattice-point counting conjecture

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let G=SO⁡(n,1)∘G=\operatorname{SO}(n,1)^\circ, let ρ=n−12\rho=\tfrac{n-1}{2}, and let Γ<G(Z)\Gamma<G(\mathbb{Z}) satisfy [G(Z):Γ]<∞[G(\mathbb{Z}):\Gamma]<\infty. Fix o∈Hno\in\mathbb H^n, let dd be hyperbolic distance, and define

N(T,q):=#{γ∈Γ(q):d(γ(o),o)≤T}.N(T,q):=\#\{\gamma\in\Gamma(q):d(\gamma(o),o)\le T\}.

Sarnak–Xue conjecture. For any T≫1T\gg1 and q≫1q\gg1,

N(T,q)≪ϵe(n−1+ϵ)T[Γ:Γ(q)]+eρTN(T,q)\ll_\epsilon\frac{e^{(n-1+\epsilon)T}}{[\Gamma:\Gamma(q)]}+e^{\rho T}

for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0, with implied constant independent of TT and qq. This estimate is a uniform lattice-point bound implying the multiplicity conjecture; it was proved in the cited discussion for cocompact arithmetic subgroups of SO⁡(n,1)\operatorname{SO}(n,1) when n=2,3n=2,3, and remains open in general.
