The main objective of this article is to study the asymptotic behavior of Salie sums over arithmetic progressions. We deduce from our asymptotic formula that Salie sums possess a bias of being positive. The method we use is based on Kuznetsov formula for modular forms of half integral weight. Moreover, in order to develop an explicit formula, we are led to determine an explicit orthogonal basis of the space of modular forms of half integral weight.

We study the probabilistic behavior of sums of Fourier coefficients in arithmetic progressions. We prove a result analogous to previous work of Fouvry-Ganguly-Kowalski-Michel and Kowalski-Ricotta in the context of half-integral weight holomorphic cusp forms and for prime power modulus. We actually show that these sums follow in a suitable range a mixed Gaussian distribution which comes from the asymptotic mixed distribution of Sali\'e sums.

In this paper we address the problem of computing asymptotic formulae for the expected values and second moments of central values of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1/2,\chi_{8d}\otimes\psi)$ when $\psi$ is a fixed even primitive non-quadratic character of odd modulus $q$, $\chi_{8d}$ is a primitive quadratic character, $d\equiv h\pmod r$ is odd and squarefree and $r\equiv0\pmod q$ is even. Restricting to these arithmetic progressions ensures that the resulting sets of ...

In this paper, we study non-trivial upper bounds for the sum $\sum \limits_{n \in S} |\lambda_f(n)|$ where $f$ is a normalized Maass eigencusp form for the full modular group, $\lambda_f(n)$ is the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $f$ and $S$ is a proper subset of positive integers in $[1,x]$ with certain properties.

Let F be a Siegel cusp form of weight k and genus n>1 with Fourier-Jacobi coefficients f_m. In this article, we estimate the growth of the Petersson norms of f_m, where m runs over an arithmetic progression. This result sharpens a recent result of Kohnen in [5].

We investigate the first moment of primes in progressions $$ \sum_{\substack{q\leq x/N \\ (q,a)=1}} \Big(\psi(x; q, a) - \frac x{\varphi(q)}\Big) $$ as $x, N \to \infty$. We show unconditionally that, when $a=1$, there is a significant bias towards negative values, uniformly for $N\leq {\rm e}^{c\sqrt{\log x}}$. The proof combines recent results of the authors on the first moment and on the error term in the dispersion method. More generally, for $a \in \mathbb Z\setminus\{0\...

Let $f$ be a half-integral weight cusp form of level $4N$ for odd and squarefree $N$ and let $a(n)$ denote its $n^{\rm th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients $a(n)$ are real, we study the sign of $a(n)$ when $n$ runs through an arithmetic progression. As a consequence, we establish a lower bound for the number of integers $n\le x$ such that $a(n)>n^{-\alpha}$ where $x$ and $\alpha$ are positive and $f$ is not necessarily a Hecke eigenform.

This is the second of two coupled papers estimating the mean values of multiplicative functions, of unknown support, on arithmetic progressions with large differences. Applications are made to the study of primes in arithmetic progression and to the Fourier coefficients of automorphic cusp forms.

The article motivates, presents and describes large computer calculations concerning the asymptotic behaviour of arithmetic properties of coefficient fields of modular forms. The observations suggest certain patterns, which deserve further study.

We provide a simple and new induction based treatment of the problem of distinguishing cusp forms from the growth of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. Our approach also gives the best possible ranges of the weights for this problem, and has wide adaptability.

It is known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of primitive indefinite binary quadratic forms and primitive hyperbolic conjugacy classes of the modular group. Due to such a correspondence, Sarnak obtained the asymptotic formula for the class number sum in order of the fundamental unit by using the prime geodesic theorem for the modular group. In the present paper, we propose asymptotic formulas of the class number sums over discriminants in ...
