Abstract:
An explicit Dirichlet series is obtained, which represents an analytic function of in the half-plane except for having simple poles at points that correspond to exceptional eigenvalues of the non-Euclidean Laplacian for Hecke congruence subgroups by the relation for . Coefficients of the Dirichlet series involve all class numbers of real quadratic number fields. But, only the terms with for sufficiently large discriminants contribute to the residues of the Dirichlet series at the poles , where is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue for . This may indicate (I'm not able to prove yet) that the multiplicity of exceptional eigenvalues can be arbitrarily large. On the other hand, by density theorem the multiplicity of exceptional eigenvalues is bounded above by a constant depending only on .
