Abstract:
For $\Gamma$ a cofinite Kleinian group acting on $\mathbb {H}^3$, we study the prime geodesic theorem on $M=\Gamma \backslash \mathbb {H}^3$, which asks about the asymptotic behavior of lengths of primitive closed geodesics (prime geodesics) on $M$. Let $E_{\Gamma }(X)$ be the error in the counting of prime geodesics with length at most $\log X$. For the Picard manifold, $\Gamma =\mathrm {PSL}(2,\mathbb {Z}[i])$, we improve the classical bound of Sarnak, $E_{\Gamma }(X)=O(X^{5/3+\epsilon })$, to $E_{\Gamma }(X)=O(X^{13/8+\epsilon })$. In the process we obtain a mean subconvexity estimate for the Rankin–Selberg $L$-function attached to Maass–Hecke cusp forms. We also investigate the second moment of $E_{\Gamma }(X)$ for a general cofinite group $\Gamma$, and we show that it is bounded by $O(X^{16/5+\epsilon })$.References
