1. Introduction In number theory identities and functional equations have played an eminent role for a long time. They often come in pairs as e.g. the 1-dimensional Poisson summation formula and the functional equation for the Riemann zeta-function. With their help many arithmetical functions have been studied. In these notes we derive a large number of identities from our investigations of certain meromorphic functions which satisfy functional equations relating their values at

of quadratic fields. In general.

the functional equations do no longer follow from a Poisson summation formula but basically stem from the fact that selfadjoint operators have only

eigenvalues. Our results have links with problems from

different branches of mathematics. We mention just one example from the following fields: algebra: structure of discrete groups. analysis: spectral theory of Laplacians. geometry: distribution of geodesics on Riemann surfaces (cf. Example 3 in sect. 11). number theory: Mean-value theorems for zeta-functions (cf. [4J ,[8],[11]). automorphic forms: Rankin-Selberg convolution method for non-arithmetic groups (cf. [7J). The identities we are going to prove connect algebraic data of discrete groups with spectral data of differential operators. The general set up can be described as follows. Let which there is given a differential operator
