Eigenvalue-weighted moment conjecture for holomorphic cusp forms

From papers

Let 1\ell\geq1 and r1r\geq1 be integers, and set

Xk(s)=Γ(12s+k2)Γ(s12+k2).X_k(s)=\frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}-s+\frac{k}{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(s-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{k}{2}\right)}.

For the forms fHk(1)f\in H_k(1), let λf()\lambda_f(\ell) denote the Hecke eigenvalue, let L(s,f)L(s,f) be the associated LL-function, and let L(s,sym2f)L(s,\operatorname{sym}^2 f) be the symmetric-square LL-function. Define

G(;z1,,zr)=A(;z1,,zr)1i<jrζ(1+zi+zj),G(\ell;z_1,\ldots,z_r)=A(\ell;z_1,\ldots,z_r)\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq r}\zeta(1+z_i+z_j),

where AA is the absolutely convergent arithmetic factor defined in the source, and let Δ\Delta denote the Vandermonde determinant. Eigenvalue-weighted moment conjecture. There is a positive constant δ\delta such that

fHk(1)2π2λf()L(12,f)r(k1)L(1,sym2f)=Rk,r()(1+O((k)δ+ε)),\sum_{f\in H_k(1)}\frac{2\pi^2\lambda_f(\ell)L\left(\frac{1}{2},f\right)^r}{(k-1)L(1,\operatorname{sym}^2 f)}=R_{k,r}(\ell)\left(1+O\left((\ell k)^{-\delta+\varepsilon}\right)\right),

where

Rk,r()=(1)r(r1)/22rr!1(2πi)rG(;z1,,zr)Δ(z12,,zr2)2z12r1zr2r1j=1rXk(12+zj)1/2dz1dzr.R_{k,r}(\ell)=\frac{(-1)^{r(r-1)/2}2^r}{r!}\frac{1}{(2\pi i)^r}\oint\cdots\oint\frac{G(\ell;z_1,\ldots,z_r)\Delta(z_1^2,\ldots,z_r^2)^2}{z_1^{2r-1}\cdots z_r^{2r-1}}\prod_{j=1}^rX_k\left(\frac{1}{2}+z_j\right)^{-1/2}\,dz_1\cdots dz_r.

The formula is a conjectural asymptotic for eigenvalue-weighted central moments, motivated by the recipe of Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith; its validity in the stated generality remains open.
