Power-saving sieve bound for quadratic Hecke sums

Let (φk)k(\varphi_k)_k, (Qk)k(Q_k)_k, and (fk)k(f_k)_k satisfy the hypotheses of the quadratic Hecke-sum conjecture: the forms φk\varphi_k are non-dihedral, the QkQ_k are irreducible integer-valued quadratic polynomials, and the Sobolev norms of fkf_k satisfy SN(fk)N1\mathcal{S}_N(f_k)\ll_N1 for every fixed NN. Power-saving sieve conjecture. There exists δ>0\delta>0 such that

nλφk(Qk(n))fk(n/k)kL(adφk,1)εQkO(1)(logk)δ.\frac{\sum_n\left|\lambda_{\varphi_k}(|Q_k(n)|)f_k(n/k)\right|}{kL(\operatorname{ad}\varphi_k,1)}\ll_{\varepsilon}\|Q_k\|^{\operatorname{O}(1)}(\log k)^{-\delta}.

The estimate would strengthen the unconditional logarithmic bound and provide a power saving, but the source states that no such improvement is currently known unconditionally.
