An orthogonality relation for characters of finite abelian groups (now recognized as an orthogonality relation on GL(1)) was used by Dirichlet to prove infinitely many primes in arithmetic progressions. Asymptotic orthogonality relations for GL(n), with $n\\le 4$, and applications to number theory, have been considered by various researchers. Here we present an explicit, asymptotic orthogonality relation for GL(n, R) ($n\\ge2$), with a power savings error term. The proof requires novel techniques in the computation of the geometric side of the Kuznetsov trace formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-30T03:24:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F55", "11F72" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic orthogonality relation", "power savings error term", "finite abelian groups", "kuznetsov trace formula", "fundamental theme" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 76, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
