Fixed-denominator joint Gaussian distribution conjecture for additive twists

About 4 years old · traced to

Let (ϕj)j=1r(\phi_j)_{j=1}^r be a finite orthogonal family of Hecke–Maaß cusp forms for SL⁡(2,Z)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}). Let V(x)\mathcal{V}(x) be the associated vector of additive-twist values, let Σ\Sigma be the covariance matrix from the joint central-limit theorem, and let R⊂R2rR\subset\mathbb{R}^{2r} be a measurable set with boundary of measure zero. Fixed-denominator joint Gaussian conjecture. The normalized values at reduced fractions satisfy

Pq(V(a/q)log⁡q∈R)⟶P(N(0,Σ)∈R)(q→∞),\mathbb{P}_q\left(\frac{\mathcal{V}(a/q)}{\sqrt{\log q}}\in R\right)\longrightarrow \mathbb{P}\left(\mathcal{N}(0,\Sigma)\in R\right)\qquad(q\to\infty),

where the probability is taken over a∈(Z/qZ)×a\in(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\times. The paper proves the corresponding result after averaging over denominators and conjectures that this extra average over qq is unnecessary.
