Talk:Selberg trace formula

Is Buser in this article de:Perter Buser? --Enyokoyama (talk) 09:50, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Palm, Marc's PhD thesis (2012) should not be in the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.244.20 (talk) 21:38, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks to Tito Omburo (talk · contribs) for the recent edits on the general case for compact quotient. I tried to give them a more structured presentation. Still missing is the case of noncompact hyperbolic surfaces, in particular the modular surface which i believe was Selberg's main motivation. I think it would be nice if the article contents on the trace formula proper fit the lede section. More applications should probably be given (Jacquet--Langlands and Weyl law for mudolar surfaces are the two that spring to my mind). I'll probably work on this in the coming months. jraimbau (talk) 08:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the connection to Poisson summation should be made explicit, for greater accessibility. I may take a stab at this. Tito Omburo (talk) 13:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Maybe in a section titled "Elementary analogues"? (or something similar) This could also include Arthur's remark (in his "introduction") that the simplest "trace formula" is the equality (sum of diagonal coefficients) = (sum of eigenvalues) for finite matrices. jraimbau (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
