Additional Notes

Chapter 9 notes
The statement on p. 169 that the O(r^n) bound was proven in Cuevas-Vodev [47] is incorrect.  They establish the bound for a sector excluding the negative real axis [47, Prop. 1.2], but their proof of [47, Prop. 1.3], which extends the result to the whole plane, is incorrect.  I have given a corrected version of this argument in [Borthwick,
Upper and lower bounds on resonances for manifolds hyperbolic near infinity, Comm. PDE 33 (2008), 1507--1539.].
Theorem 11.3
The extra n_c/4 appearing in (11.12) may seem a little odd.  To verify that it is correct, we can compare to the Selberg trace formula in the case of finite area.  A copy of that argument is available here.   It is not clear to me why this term is absent in Guillopé-Zworski [87, Thm. 5.7], but my guess is that the modified Hilbert space for the cusp ends affects the definition of the 0-trace.
