Abstract

Under a previously studied condition on the argument of the Selberg zeta function on the critical line, we reach the critical exponent \(\frac{1}{2}\) in the error term of the prime geodesic theorem for the modular group PSL(2,\( \mathbb {Z}\)) outside a set of finite logarithmic measure. We also prove a conditional prime geodesic theorem of Hejhal’s type in this setting without the latter exclusion.
