Let M = SL(2, Z) be the classical modular matrix group. One form of the Poincaré series on M is

here zH={z = x + iy: y >0}, q ≧ 2 and m ≧ 1 are integers, and the summation is over a complete system of matrices (ab: cd) in M with different lower row. The problem of the identical vanishing of the Poincaré series for different values of m and q goes back to Poincaré.
