Sarnak–Xue lattice-point counting conjecture

Let G=SO(n,1)G=\operatorname{SO}(n,1)^\circ, let ρ=n12\rho=\tfrac{n-1}{2}, and let Γ<G(Z)\Gamma<G(\mathbb{Z}) satisfy [G(Z):Γ]<[G(\mathbb{Z}):\Gamma]<\infty. Fix oHno\in\mathbb H^n, let dd be hyperbolic distance, and define

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

Sarnak–Xue conjecture. For any T1T\gg1 and q1q\gg1,

N(T,q)ϵe(n1+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.
