Flat trace distribution of the geodesic flow on compact hyperbolic plane

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the spectral decomposition of the Koopman operator and determine the flat-trace distribution associated with the geodesic flow on the co-circle bundle over the compactification of Poincar\'e upper half-plane $\mathbf{H}^2 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : \Im(z) > 0\}$, equipped with the hyperbolic metric $ds^2 = \frac{dz^2}{\Im(z)^2}$.
