The Prime Geodesic Theorem for the Picard Manifold
We prove the prime geodesic theorem for the Picard manifold whose error term shrinks as the hybrid subconvex exponent $θ$ for quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over Gaussian integers decreases. Our rate of decay is faster than that of Balkanova-Frolenkov (2022) and Kaneko (2022), and leads to the exponent $\frac{202}{139}+\varepsilon$ in the prime geodesic theorem under the generalised Lindelöf hypothesis $θ= 0$, improving upon the existing conditional results.

Quick tip: be careful when using the newer #CSS viewport-percentage length units like `svh`, `dvh`, and the like. They are well-supported since late 2022 and quite a few users might still be using older (Android) devices and browsers. So always make sure to test on a few real devices (thanks to my parents in law for their Galaxy Tab 4 😁) and provide fallbacks, e.g. with `vh`.
