Marklof's gap conjecture for arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifolds

Let ΓD\Gamma_\mathfrak{D} be an arithmetic quaternion group. The complex length spectrum of H3/ΓD\mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma_\mathfrak{D} has gaps, and let G(x)\mathcal{G}(x) denote the number of these gaps up to length =logx\ell=\log x. Here KK is the field of definition, with degree d=[K:Q]d=[K:\mathbb{Q}], and DaD_\mathfrak{a} is the discriminant of a=trD\mathfrak{a}=\operatorname{tr}\mathfrak{D}. Marklof's gap conjecture. As xx\to\infty,

G(x)=κx+o(x),\mathcal{G}(x)=\kappa x+o(x),

where κ0\kappa\geq 0 depends only on ΓD\Gamma_\mathfrak{D} and is small compared to 22d3πDa1/22^{2d-3}\pi |D_\mathfrak{a}|^{-1/2}. It is possible that κ=0\kappa=0 for every ΓD\Gamma_\mathfrak{D}. This conjecture gives a conditional description of the gaps in the complex length spectra of compact arithmetic hyperbolic 33-orbifolds; the source does not provide a resolution, and explicitly allows the possibility that the asymptotic constant vanishes.
