Abstract Given a closed geodesic on a compact arithmetic hyperbolic surface, we show the existence of a sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions whose integrals along the geodesic exhibit nontrivial growth. Via Waldspurger’s formula we deduce a lower bound for central values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions of Maass forms times theta series associated to real quadratic fields.

Abstract Let M be a geometrically finite acylindrical hyperbolic $3$ -manifold and let $M^*$ denote the interior of the convex core of M. We show that any geodesic plane in $M^*$ is either closed or dense, and that there are only countably many closed geodesic planes in $M^*$ . These results were obtained by McMullen, Mohammadi and Oh [Geodesic planes in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Invent. Math.209 (2017), 425–461; Geodesic planes in the convex core of an acylindrical 3-manifold. Duke Math. J., to appear, Preprint, 2018, arXiv:1802.03853] when M is convex cocompact. As a corollary, we obtain that when M covers an arithmetic hyperbolic $3$ -manifold $M_0$ , the topological behavior of a geodesic plane in $M^*$ is governed by that of the corresponding plane in $M_0$ . We construct a counterexample of this phenomenon when $M_0$ is non-arithmetic.

AbstractChinburg and Reid have recently constructed examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds in which every closed geodesic is simple. These examples are constructed in a highly non-generic way and it is of interest to understand in the general case the geometry of and structure of the set of closed geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. For hyperbolic 3-manifolds which contain immersed totally geodesic surfaces there are always non-simple closed geodesics. Here we construct examples of manifolds with non-simple closed geodesics and no totally geodesic surfaces.

Let M be a complete hyperbolic n-manifold of finite volume. By a systole of M we mean a shortest closed geodesic in M. By the systole length of M we mean the length of a systole. We denote this by sl (M). In the case when M is closed, the systole length is simply twice the injectivity radius of M. In the presence of cusps, injectivity radius becomes arbitrarily small and it is for this reason we use the language of ‘systole length’.In the context of hyperbolic surfaces of finite volume, much work has been done on systoles; we refer the reader to [2, 10–12] for some results. In dimension 3, little seems known about systoles. The main result in this paper is the following (see below for definitions):

Associated Legendre functions are studied for the case where the degree is in conical form −½ + iτ (τ real), and the order iμ and argument ix are purely imaginary (μ and x real). Conical functions in this form have applications to Fourier expansions of the eigenfunctions on a closed geodesic. Real-valued numerically satisfactory solutions are introduced which are continuous for all real x. Uniform asymptotic approximations and expansions are then derived for the cases where one or both of μ and τ are large; these results (which involve elementary, Airy, Bessel and parabolic cylinder functions) are uniformly valid for unbounded x.

We show that the horocycle foliations on a compact $C^{\infty}$ (or even $C^{\omega}$) surface of non-positive curvature can fail to be Lipschitz, even if the curvature vanishes only along a single closed geodesic. We calculate the Hölder exponents of these foliations at vectors tangent to geodesics along which the curvature vanishes.
