Abstract:
We show that, for the case of strictly hyperbolic groups, the right-hand side of the Selberg trace formula admits a
representation in the form of a series in the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. The behavior of the Minakshisundaram function as $t\to0$ and $t\to\infty$ is studied. Countably many conditions satisfied by the spectrum of the Laplacian are obtained in explicit form.
Keywords:Selberg formula, strictly hyperbolic group, spectrum of the Laplacian.
