The Ratios Conjecture for quadratic twists of a modular form

About 12 years old · traced to

Let ff be a holomorphic cusp form with associated quadratic-twist family Ff+(X)\mathcal{F}_f^{+}(X), and let Rf(α,γ)R_f(\alpha,\gamma) denote the average of the ratio of shifted LL-functions over d∈Df+(X)d\in\mathcal{D}_f^{+}(X). For −1/4<Re⁡(α)<1/4-1/4 < \operatorname{Re}(\alpha) < 1/4, 1/log⁡x≪Re⁡(γ)<1/41/\log x \ll \operatorname{Re}(\gamma) < 1/4, and Im⁡(α),Im⁡(γ)≪X1−ε\operatorname{Im}(\alpha),\operatorname{Im}(\gamma) \ll X^{1-\varepsilon}, the quantities YfY_f, Y~f\widetilde{Y}_f, AfA_f, A~f\widetilde{A}_f, and ηf\eta_f are defined by the Euler products and expectation specified in the conjecture statement. The Ratios Conjecture. The average satisfies

Rf(α,γ)=∑d∈Df+(X)[YfAf(α,γ)+ηf(M∣d∣2π)−2αΓ(k/2−α)Γ(k/2+α)Y~fA~f(−α,γ)]+O(X1/2+ε),R_f(\alpha,\gamma)=\sum_{d\in\mathcal{D}_f^{+}(X)}\left[Y_fA_f(\alpha,\gamma)+\eta_f\left(\frac{\sqrt{M}|d|}{2\pi}\right)^{-2\alpha}\frac{\Gamma(k/2-\alpha)}{\Gamma(k/2+\alpha)}\widetilde{Y}_f\widetilde{A}_f(-\alpha,\gamma)\right]+O(X^{1/2+\varepsilon}),

with the local factors and the cases for ηf\eta_f exactly as displayed in the source. This conjectural formula is intended to provide the ratios input needed to derive the one-level density of zeros in the quadratic-twist family; its resolution is not supplied here.
