The author wishes to make the following correction to the paper [
1].
It was found that there was a typo in the abstract section of [
1]. Namely, it should be
in place of
. This change has no material impact on the conclusions of the paper.
In [
1], we derived a number of results on prime geodesic theorems for compact, even-dimensional, locally symmetric Riemannian manifolds of strictly negative sectional curvature. For the sake of readers and the overall completeness of the research, we would also like to complement [
1] with analogous results in odd dimensions. Thus, we shall briefly prove that the results obtained in [
1] remain valid if the dimension of the underlying locally symmetric space is assumed to be odd.
Let
Y be a compact,
n-dimensional (
n odd), locally symmetric Riemannian manifold of strictly negative sectional curvature. The rest of the notation used below will be fully adopted from [
1].
The following results hold true (see, [
1] (Theorems 1–3) for the counterparts in the even-dimensional case).
Theorem 1. Let Y be as above. Thenwhere denotes the set of real singularities of . Proof. We adjust the proof of Theorem 1 in [
1] (pp. 6–9).
The singularities of
are given by Theorem 3.15 in [
2] (pp. 113–115).
Since n is odd, there are only spectral singularities, so the part of the proof related to topological singularities is missing now. The actual proof (in odd dimensions) is therefore much simpler.
On page 7 in [
1], Equation (9) becomes
where 0,
,...,
∉
,
is the set of non-real singularities of
, and
,
,
j∈
are some explicitly computable constants.
The first inequality in [
1] (p. 9) is now read as
The assertion follows by taking d=, K=. □
Theorem 2. (Prime Geodesic Theorem) Let Y be as above. Then as x→∞, where is the function counting prime geodesics on Y of length not larger than . Proof. Follows immediately from Theorem 1. □
Theorem 3. (Gallagherian Prime Geodesic Theorem) Let Y be as above and ε> 0. There exists a set E of finite logarithmic measure such that Proof. As a starting point, we take the explicit formula for
given by Equation (
1).
Bearing in mind the fact that topological singularities are missing, and proceeding in the same way as in [
1] (pp. 10–12), we conclude that for
x ∉
E (Cf. [
1] (p. 12, relation (21)))
The assertion of the theorem now follows by putting
d=
,
Y∼
into (
2),
=, =, and finalizing the argument in a standard way. □
