The class-number asymptotic conjecture for Γ(2)′\Gamma(2)'

About 5 years old · traced to

Let LL be the ambient subgroup under consideration, and let h(t)h(t) be the number of SL⁡2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})-conjugacy classes of hyperbolic matrices in LL with trace tt. Let h′(t)h'(t) be the corresponding number for Γ(2)′\Gamma(2)'. An integer tt is admissible if it occurs in the trace set modulo every positive integer. The class-number conjecture. For admissible tt,

h′(t)≍h(t)log⁡(∣t∣).h'(t)\asymp\frac{h(t)}{\log(|t|)}.

The conjecture models the proportion of conjugacy classes whose homology is trivial; the paper gives heuristic and computational evidence but no proof.
