Abstract

Let f be a classical holomorphic cusp form for SL2(Z) of weight k which is a normalized eigenfunction for the Hecke algebra, and let λ(n) be its eigenvalues. In this paper we study “shifted convolution sums” Σ n λ(n)λ(n + h) after averaging over many shifts h and obtain asymptotic estimates. The result is somewhat surprising: one encounters a transition region depending on the ratio of the square of the length of the average over h to the length of the shifted convolution sum. The phenomenon is similar to that encountered by Conrey, Farmer and Soundararajan in their 2000 paper [1] on transition mean values of the Jacobi symbol, and the connection of both results to Eisenstein series and multiple Dirichlet series is discussed.
