Definition of the weight $k$ hyperbolic Laplacian












1












$begingroup$


I saw two different definitions for the weight $k$ non-Euclidean Laplacian. First, in Daniel Bump's book Automorphic Forms and Representations, the following definitions are given for smooth $mathbb C$-valued functions on the upper half plane (Chapter 2.1):



enter image description here



I was not able to verify (1.4) by the way. Maybe I made a mistake, but from what I calculated, the first equality was not correct. I was wondering whether one of the definitions (1.1), (1.2), (1.3) was not written correctly.



Edit: I have checked again, and (1.4) is actually correct.



Wikipedia defines the weight $k$ non-Euclidean Laplacian by



$$Delta_k = -y^2( frac{partial^2}{partial x^2} + frac{partial^2}{partial y^2}) + iky (frac{partial}{partial x} + i frac{partial}{partial y})$$



Which definition is correct?

    Won't the first one lead to if $f(z)$ is smooth and $1$-periodic then $f(z) = sum_n a_n(y) e^{2i pi n x}$ and if it is in the kernel of $Delta_k$ then $f(z) = c_0+sum_{nne 0} c_n h_k(2pi |n|y) e^{2i pi n x}$ where $partial_y^2 h_k(y) = h_k(y)+ h_k(y) C_k/ y$

    $h_k(t)$ evaluated at $t = 2 pi N y$ with $N = |n|$. And $f(z) = c_0+sum_{nne 0} c_n h_k(2pi |n|y) e^{2i pi n x}$ is what we need for the Mellin transform of $f(x+i.)-c_0$ being a Dirichlet series
