Mean-square shifted convolution conjecture for non-holomorphic cusp-form coefficients

About 14 years old · traced to

Let t(n)t(n) denote the Fourier coefficients of the non-holomorphic cusp form considered in the paper, and let m∼Mm\sim M mean M<m≤2MM<m\leq 2M. Let N≥1N\geq 1, 1≤L≤N1\leq L\leq N, and 1≤F≪N1−ε1\leq F\ll N^{1-\varepsilon}. Shifted convolution conjecture. One should have

∑f∼F∑n∼N∣∑l∼Lt(n+l)t(n+l+f)∣2≪N2+ε+N1+εLF.\sum_{f\sim F}\sum_{n\sim N}\left|\sum_{l\sim L}t(n+l)t(n+l+f)\right|^{2}\ll N^{2+\varepsilon}+N^{1+\varepsilon}LF.

This is the conjectured analogue of the established mean-square estimate for the divisor function and the corresponding result for holomorphic cusp forms. It is proposed because the spectral decomposition for non-holomorphic cusp forms contains an additional arithmetic correction term that obstructs the proof; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
