We develop novel techniques using abstract operator theory to obtain asymptotic formulae for lattice counting problems on infinite-volume hyperbolic manifolds, with error terms which are uniform as the lattice moves through "congruence" subgroups.
We give the following application to the theory of affine linear sieves. In the spirit of Fermat, consider the problem of primes in the sum of two squares, f(c,d)=c^2+d^2, but restrict (c,d) to the orbit O = (0,1).Gamma, where Gamma is an infinite-index non-elementary finitely-generated subgroup of SL(2,Z). Assume that the Reimann surface Gamma\H^2 has a cusp at infinity. We show that the set of values f(O) contains infinitely many integers having at most R prime factors for any R>4/(delta-theta), where theta>1/2 is the spectral gap and delta 149/150, then we can take theta=5/6, giving R=25. The limit of this method is R=9 for delta-theta>4/9. This is the same number of prime factors as attained in Brun's original attack on the twin prime conjecture.
