Let $K_\\infty\\subset G(\\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal compact subgroup. We study the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions of the cuspidal and residual spectrum, respectively, of the regular representation of $G(\\mathbb{R})$ in $L^2(\\Gamma\\backslash G(\\mathbb{R}))$ of a fixed $K_\\infty$-type $\\sigma$. A conjecture, which is due to Sarnak, states that the counting function of the cuspidal spectrum of type $\\sigma$ satisfies Weyl's law and the residual spectrum is of lower order growth. Using the Arthur trace formula we reduce the conjecture to a problem about $L$-functions occurring in the constant terms of Eisenstein series. If $G$ satisfies property (L), introduced by Finis and Lapid, we establish the conjecture. This includes classical groups over a number field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-04T17:39:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F72", "58J35" ], "keywords": [ "congruence subgroups", "weyl law", "residual spectrum", "counting function", "conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 50, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
