Let Δ denote the Laplace operator acting on the space L2(Г/H) of automorphic functions with respect to a congruence group Г, square integrable over the fundamental domain F=Г/H. It is known that Δ has a point spectrum

with (Weyl's law)

and it has a purely continuous spectrum on [¼,∞) of finite multiplicity equal to the number of inequivalent cusps. The eigenpacket of the continuous spectrum is formed by the Eisenstein series Ea(z, s) on s = ½+it where a ranges over inequivalent cusps. The eigenfunctions ui(z) with positive eigenvalues are Maass cusp forms.
