  Selberg trace formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1960s the general thrust of the Selberg trace formula, as a piece of analysis, was taken up by the Israel Gelfand school, by Harish-Chandra and Langlands in Princeton, and by Tomio Kubota in Japan.
The existence of trace formulae both for the differential operator and Hecke operator cases was a hint of the power (for essentially arithmetic cases) of the adele group approach.
Contemporary successors of the theory are the Arthur-Selberg trace formula applying to the case of general semisimple G, and the many studies of the trace formula in the Langlands philosophy (dealing with technical issues such as endoscopy).

Selberg was born in Langesund, Norway and great work of Srinivasa Aaiyangar Ramanujan influenced on him very soon while he was still at school.
It establishes a duality between the length spectrum of a Riemann surface and the eigenvalues of the Laplacian which is analogous to the duality between the prime numbers and the zeros of the zeta function.
Selberg and Erdös gave elementary proofs of the prime number theorem, although it was prior believed that such proofs with only real variables can't be found.

 Atle Selberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atle Selberg (born June 17, 1917) is a Norwegian mathematician known for his work in analytic number theory, and in the theory of automorphic forms, in particular bringing them into relation with spectral theory.
Then in 1948 Selberg, working with Paul Erdős, gave an elementary proof of the prime number theorem (although there was a dispute between them about to whom this result should primarily be attributed).
Selberg moved to the United States and settled at the Institute for Advanced Study in the 1950s where he remains today.

Selberg used his trace formula to prove that the "Selberg zeta function" of a Riemann surface satisfies an analogue of the Riemann hypothesis.
Selberg was one of the four editors of Axel Thue's Selected mathematical papers published in Oslo in 1977.
In 1989 Selberg published Reflections around the Ramanujan centenary which is the text of a talk which he gave at the conclusion of the Ramanujan Centenary Conference in January 1988 at the Tata Institute in Bombay.

 Selberg trace formula and zeta functions
Selberg discovered that the so called "Poisson summation formula" of classical Fourier analysis had a noncommutative generalization that could be applied to obtain an array of important identities in number theory and the theory of automorphic functions.
This formula, which was motivated by Riemann's zeta function, relates in an exact way the spectrum of the quantal motion on compact surfaces of negative curvature to the classical motion.
Its divisor is determined by the eigenvalues and scattering poles of the Laplacian and the Euler characteristic of the surface.

 how Selberg's trace formula and the Riemann-Weil explicit formula are related
"Selberg noticed this similarity in 1950-51 and was quickly led to a deeper study of trace formulas.
Among other things, Selberg found that there is a zeta function which corresponds to [his trace formula] in the same way that [the Riemann zeta function] corresponds to [Weil's explicit formula].
Selberg generalised this, producing a noncommutative analogue of the PSF, which can be interpreted as a trace formula on higher-genus compact Riemannian surfaces.

 the Riemann-Weil explicit formula
This is a generalisation of the Riemann-von Mangoldt explicit formula (which relates the zeros of the Riemann zeta function to the distribution of prime numbers).
Explicit formulae generally are characterised as having the form of "the sum of a certain function extended to the prime powers [being] essentially equal to a sum of its Mellin transform extended to the zeros of the (relevant) zeta function."
A striking explicit formula was given by Riemann for the prime-counting function in terms of the zeros, and the generalizations obtained later all go by the name of 'Explicit Formulae'.

 trace formulae and number theory
One side of a formula is given by a trace of a quantum object, typically derived from a quantum Hamilitonian, and the other side is described in terms of closed orbits of the corresponding classical Hamiltonian.
In algebraic situations, such as the original Selberg trace formula, the identities are exact, while in general they hold only in semi-classical or high-energy limits.
In this paper we present an intermediate trace formula in which the original trace is expressed in terms of traces of quantum monodromy operators directly related to the classical dynamics.

 Atlas: Selberg's trace formula as an explicit formula by Lejla Smajlovic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
We interprete Selberg's trace formula for a strictly hyperbolic Fuchsian group as an explicit formula for a fundamental class of functions in the symmetric case.
The explicit formula in this case is proved for a larger class of test functions, not necessarily smooth at zero.
Thus we obtain that the trace formula holds for a larger class of test functions.

In 1950 Selberg was awarded a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Harvard.
Selberg is also well known for his elementary proof of the prime number theorem, with a generalisation to prime numbers in an arbitrary arithmetic progression.
Probably Selberg's best and most important work is his trace formula for SL), which was done several years after the work for which he was awarded the Fields Medal.

 Encyclopedia: Poisson summation formula
In mathematics, the Poisson summation formula is a relation holding between a sum of a function F over all integers, and a corresponding sum for the Fourier transform G.
In fact in more recent work on counting lattice points in regions it is routinely used − summing the indicator function of a region D over lattice points is exactly the question, so that the LHS of the summation formula is what is sought and the RHS something that can be attacked by mathematical analysis.
In non-commutative harmonic analysis, the idea is taken even further in the Selberg trace formula, but takes on a much deeper character.

-- Mathematical Reviews The Arthur-Selberg trace formula is an equality between two kinds of traces: the geometric terms given by the conjugacy classes of a group and the spectral terms given by the induced representations.
The formulas are difficult in general and even the case of $GL$ (2) is nontrivial.
Explains why the truncation formula reduces to a simple formula involving only the elliptic terms on the geometric sides with the representations appearing cuspidally on the spectral side (applies to Tamagawa numbers).

The Arthur-Selberg trace formula is an equality between two kinds of traces; the geometric terms given by the conjugacy classes of a group and the spectral terms given by the induced representations.
The formulas are difficult in general and even the case of GL(2) is nontrivial.
The problem is that when the truncated terms converge, they are also shown to be polynomial in the truncation variable and expressed as "weighted" orbital and "weighted" characters.

 Trace formula 285B   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Trace formula, introduced by Selberg and greatly refined by Arthur, is an important tool for computing the trace of a certain type of linear operator in the regular representation of a group G. It has many applications in number theory.
For example, it can been used to calculate the traces of Hecke operators, and to verify cases of functoriality in Langlands' program.
Students learning the trace formula are usually overwhelmed by all the notation and ideas from different fields (number theory, automorphic forms, Lie Algebras, Group theory, Representation theory, etc.) This course will be an attempt to bridge the gap.
