Abstract

We extend the geometric interpretation of the roots of the quadratic congruence μ²≡D (mod m) as the tops of certain geodesics in the hyperbolic plane to the case when the integer D>1 is square-free and D≡1 (mod 4). This allows us to establish limit laws for the fine-scale statistics of the roots using results by Marklof and the second author.
