Abstract

For Γ a cocompact or cofinite Fuchsian group, we study the hyperbolic lattice point problem in conjugacy classes, which is a modification of the classical hyperbolic lattice point problem. We use large sieve inequalities for the Riemann surfaces Γ\ to obtain average results for the error term, which are conjecturally optimal. We give a new proof of the error bound O(X2/3), due to Good. For SL2() we interpret our results in terms of indefinite quadratic forms.
