The remainder in Weyl's law for Heisenberg manifolds

Yiannis N. Petridis & John A. Toth

Abstract:

We prove that the error term $R(\lambda)$ in Weyl's law is ${\mathcal O}_ {\epsilon}(\lambda^{5/6 + \epsilon})$ for certain three-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. We also show that the $L^2$-norm of the Weyl error term integrated over the moduli space of left-invariant Heisenberg metrics is $\ll \lambda^ {3/4+\epsilon}$. We conjecture that $ R( \lambda )= {\mathcal O}_ {\epsilon} ( \lambda^{3/4 + \epsilon})$ is a sharp deterministic upper bound for Heisenberg three-manifolds.
