The square-mean conjecture for cusp-form coefficients at Piatetski–Shapiro primes

Let ff be a cusp form for the full modular group, let 1<c<8/71<c<8/7, and let \mathbbmP\mathbbm{P} denote the set of primes. Write λf(n)\lambda_f(n) for the normalized Fourier coefficients of ff. Under the assumptions of the paper's main theorem, there is a constant cf>0c_f>0 such that

nN[nc]\mathbbmPλf([nc])2cfNclogNas N.\sum_{\substack{n\leq N\\ [n^c]\in\mathbbm{P}}}\left|\lambda_f\left([n^c]\right)\right|^2\sim c_f\frac{N}{c\log N}\quad\text{as }N\to\infty.

This conjecture predicts the analogue, for Piatetski–Shapiro primes, of the known square-mean asymptotic over all primes. The source presents it as an unproved conjecture and gives no resolution.
