Abstract. We prove that the modular symbols appropriately normalized and ordered have a Gaussian distribution for all cofinite subgroups of SL 2 (R). We use spectral deformations to study the poles and the residues of Eisenstein series twisted by power of modular symbols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
