Sarnak's trace-set arithmeticity conjecture for cofinite Fuchsian groups
Sarnak's trace-set arithmeticity conjecture for cofinite Fuchsian groups
Let be a cofinite Fuchsian group. Its trace set is the set of traces of elements of , defined up to sign. A set of real numbers has the bounded clustering property if there is a constant such that has fewer than elements for every , and define
Sarnak's conjecture. If satisfies the bounded clustering property, then is arithmetic. If , then is derived from a quaternion algebra.
Luo and Sarnak proved the bounded clustering property for arithmetic Fuchsian groups; the conjectured converses relate trace-set sparsity to arithmeticity and quaternionic origin. The resolution status of these two assertions is not specified in the source.
