Abstract

We prove that the number variance for the spectrum of an arithmetic surface is highly nonrigid in part of the universal range. In fact it is close to having a Poisson behavior. This fact was discovered numerically by Schmit, Bogomolny, Georgeot and Giannoni. It has its origin in the high degeneracy of the length spectrum, first observed by Selberg.
