Young's square-root shifted convolution conjecture for Maass forms

About 13 years old · traced to

Let U(z)U(z) be a Hecke–Maass cusp form with Laplace eigenvalue 1/4+T21/4+T^2, Fourier coefficients λ(n)\lambda(n) and first coefficient ρ(1)\rho(1). For fixed 0<a≤y≤b0<a\le y\le b, α∈R\alpha\in\mathbb{R}, and 1≤M≤T1+ε1\le M\le T^{1+\varepsilon}, Young's square-root shifted convolution conjecture.

∣ρ(1)∣2∑1≤∣m∣≤Me(mα)∑n∈Zλ(n)λ(n+m)KiT(2π∣n∣y)KiT(2π∣m+n∣y)≪a,b,εT−1/2+εM1/2.|\rho(1)|^2\sum_{1\le|m|\le M}e(m\alpha)\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\lambda(n)\lambda(n+m)K_{iT}(2\pi|n|y)K_{iT}(2\pi|m+n|y)\ll_{a,b,\varepsilon}T^{-1/2+\varepsilon}M^{1/2}.

Equivalently, uniformly in α∈R\alpha\in\mathbb{R},

∑1≤∣m∣≤M∫01∣U(x+iy)∣2e(m(α−x)) dx≪a,b,εT−1/2+εM1/2.\sum_{1\le|m|\le M}\int_0^1|U(x+iy)|^2e(m(\alpha-x))\,dx\ll_{a,b,\varepsilon}T^{-1/2+\varepsilon}M^{1/2}.

This stronger hypothesis supplies cancellation across the shift mm and would imply the conjectural compact-set sup-norm bound U(z)≪TεU(z)\ll T^\varepsilon.
