Talk:Maass wave form

Maass wave and cusp forms

@Saraband2004: I note that you redirected the talk page from here to Talk:Maass cusp form, but my understanding is that the wave form and cusp form aren't equivalent. Rather, the cusp form is a subset of the wave form, as follows from:

• the definition at Maass wave form#Definition of a Maass wave form
• I've also taken this to WikiProject Mathematics where the response I had from "Mark viking" was that

  Maass cusp forms are wave forms that vanish at the cusps. See for instance [1], page 364

  .

I've therefore modified the lede at Maass cusp form to reflect this, and also call into question the basis for the proposed merge of these pages; they are related but not equivalent. Klbrain (talk) 11:00, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Merge. Look, one is a special case of the other. Defining either requires a lot of common baggage and infrastructure to be set up. Once it's set up, then a single article can cover both: the general case, the special case. If that article gets too long, it would need to be split in three, I guess: one for the the common baggage, and then one-each for the waveform and the cusp form. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Correct equation?

Is the equation of $\Delta _{k}$ in the section on level $k$ wavefomes correct? All papers that I have seen have a $2ik$ rather than an $ik$ in the $\partial /\partial x$ term.
