Title:On binary correlations of Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms at prime arguments
View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Let $\{\lambda_f(n)\}_{n \geq 1}$ be the normalized Hecke eigenvalues of a given holomorphic cusp form $f$ of even weight $k$. We show under the assumption of the existence of Littlewood's type zero free region for $L(s, f, \chi)$, where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, that if $X^{2/3+\varepsilon} \ll H \ll X^{1-\varepsilon}$ with $\varepsilon>0$, then for any $A\geq 1$, $$\sum_{1\leq |h|\leq H}\bigg| \sum_{\substack{X<n,\: m \leq 2X \\ n - m = h}} \lambda_f(n)\Lambda(n)\lambda_f(m)\Lambda(m) \bigg|^2 \ll_{A} \frac{HX^2}{(\log X)^{A}}$$ holds. Moreover, under an additional hypothesis on the fourth moment of certain Dirichlet polynomials (which follows from GRH for $L(s, f)$), we show that the above result can be strengthened to hold in a wider range $X^{1/3+\varepsilon}\ll H \ll X^{1-\varepsilon}$. Finally, if we average over the forms $f$, then for $X^{\varepsilon}\ll H\ll X^{1-\varepsilon}$ and for any $A\geq 1$,
$$ \sum_{f\in \mathcal{H}_k}\omega_f\sum_{1\leq |h|\leq H}\bigg| \sum_{\substack{X<n,\: m \leq 2X \\ n - m = h}} \lambda_f(n)\Lambda(n)\lambda_f(m)\Lambda(m) \bigg|^2 \ll_{A}\frac{HX^2}{(\log X)^{A}},$$ where $\mathcal{H}_k$ is the Hecke basis for the space of holomorphic cusp forms of weight $k$ for the full modular group $\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$ and $\omega_f$ are harmonic weights associated with $f\in \mathcal{H}_k$. These results may be viewed as modular analogues of the averaged forms of the Hardy--Littlewood prime tuple conjecture.
