After we prove that $\\Gamma_0(N)^+$ has one cusp, we compute the constant term of the associated non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. We then derive an \"average\" Weyl's law for the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms, from which we prove the \"classical\" Weyl's law as a special case. The groups corresponding to N=5 and N=6 have the same signature; however, our analysis shows that, asymptotically, there are infinitely more cusp forms for $\\Gamma_0(5)^+$ than for $\\Gamma_0(6)^+$. We view this result as being consistent with the Phillips-Sarnak philosophy since we have shown, unconditionally, the existence of two groups which have different Weyl's laws. In addition, we employ Hejhal's algorithm, together with recently developed refinements from [31], and numerically determine the first 3557 of $\\Gamma_0(5)^+$ and the first 12474 eigenvalues of $\\Gamma_0(6)^+$. With this information, we empirically verify some conjectured distributional properties of the eigenvalues.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-08T16:05:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "maass forms", "moonshine groups", "eigenvalues", "conjectured distributional properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.1574J" } } }
