Blomer–Khan–Young fourth-moment conjecture for holomorphic cusp forms

From papers

Let ff be a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight kk for SL2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}). For z=x+iyz=x+iy in the upper half-plane H\mathbb{H}, define

F(z)=yk/2f(z).F(z)=y^{k/2}f(z).

For 1p<1\le p<\infty, define

Fp=(SL2(Z)\HF(z)pdxdyy2)1/p.\lVert F\rVert_p=\left(\int_{\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}}|F(z)|^p\frac{dx\,dy}{y^2}\right)^{1/p}.

Blomer–Khan–Young's fourth-moment conjecture. Under the normalization

3πF22=1,\frac{3}{\pi}\lVert F\rVert_2^2=1,

we have

3πF442\frac{3}{\pi}\lVert F\rVert_4^4\sim 2

as kk\to\infty. This conjecture concerns the expected fourth moment of normalized holomorphic cusp forms and is motivated by the random wave model. The source presents it as an earlier conjecture and does not state that it has been proved or disproved.
