Abstract:

We prove the local mixing theorem for geodesic flows on abelian covers of finite volume hyperbolic surfaces with cusps, which is a continuation of the work [Hee Oh and Wenyu Pan, Int. Math. Res. Not. 19 (2019), pp. 6036–6088]. We also describe applications to counting problems and the prime geodesic theorem.
