Counting and equidistribution over primes in hyperbolic groups

We consider equidistribution of angles for certain hyperbolic lattice points in the upper half-plane. Extending work of Friedlander and Iwaniec we show that for the full modular group equidistribution persists for matrices with $a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2=p$ with $p$ prime; at least if we assume sufficiently good lower bounds in the hyperbolic prime number theorem by Friedlander and Iwaniec. We also investigate related questions for a specific arithmetic co-compact group and its double cosets by hyperbolic subgroups. The general equidistribution problem was studied by Good, and in this case, we show, that equidistribution holds unconditionally when restricting to primes.
