Nous donnons la preuve d’une version microlocale d’un résultat de W. Luo et P. Sarnak concernant la répartition asymptotique des fonctions de Wigner associées aux séries d’Eisenstein sur PSL 2 (ℤ)∖PSL 2 (ℝ). La preuve utilise les opérateurs de Hecke, et n’est donc valable que pour les sous-groupes de congruence de SL 2 (ℝ).

In this paper we prove microlocal version of the equidistribution theorem for Wigner distributions associated to Eisenstein series on PSL 2 (ℤ)∖PSL 2 (ℝ). This generalizes a recent result of W. Luo and P. Sarnak who proves equidistribution for PSL 2 (ℤ)∖ℍ. The averaged versions of these results have been proven by Zelditch for an arbitrary finite-volume surface, but our proof depends essentially on the presence of Hecke operators and works only for congruence subgroups of SL 2 (ℝ). In the proof the key estimates come from applying Meurman’s and Good’s results on L-functions associated to holomorphic and Maass cusp forms. One also has to use classical transformation formulas for generalized hypergeometric functions of a unit argument.
