Actually I came upon this through MO a couple of days ago: in here (http://aimath.org/aimnews/lmfdb/) there is a mesmerizing image

enter image description here

The caption reads

A Maass form, one of the 20 different types of objects in the LMFDB.

Image by Fredrik Strömberg

Of course I could just email the person or Alina Bucur whose homepage hosts the image, or ask at LMFDB but I somehow prefer to start from here.

Does anyone know which Maass form is depicted here? What does the color coding mean? How has it been calculated? Where can I read about it?

After accepting an answer I found (in the "Related" column), in an answer to Zeroes of Maass forms a link to a more informative page by Strömberg with lots of different kind of images like

or

enter image description here

Then I also found another even more haunting and mysterious one at still different page, again without any details given. Let me reproduce this one too

You can find details on the Maass waveform calculation in SAGE in this talk by Frederik Strömberg. I guess you'll have to ask Dr. Strömberg for the precise parameters used in the waveform you mention.

  • $\begingroup$ OK seems like I have to ask him in any case. But I am very grateful for the link of the talk, I don't think I would be able to discover it myself. $\endgroup$
