Average bounds on Rankin-Selberg coefficients for modular forms

Let $f$ be a cuspidal Hecke newform of weight $k$ and level $N$, and denote by $a_f(n)$ its $n$-th Fourier coefficient. The newform $f$ is normalized so that $a_f(1) = 1$. As a consequence of Rankin-...

Are the L-functions of a normalized newform and the corresponding cuspidal representation equal?

Let $f \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ be a normalized newform with Fourier expansion $$f(z) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n e^{2\pi i z n}$$ and $a_1 = 1$. Then $f$ is an eigenfunction of all Hecke ...

Functoriality for triple product GL(2) x GL(2) x GL(2)

Let $f$, $g$ and $h$ be three general automorphic forms on $\operatorname{GL}(2)$. Do we know that $L(s, f\times g\times h)$ comes from an automorphic form on $\operatorname{GL}(8)$?

Asymptotic's for Fourier coefficients of $GL(3)$ Maass forms

Let $f$ be a $GL(3)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form and $A(m,n)$ denote its Fourier coefficients. Are there any lower bounds known for $\sum_{p\leq x}|A(1,p)|^2$ or $\sum_{n\leq x}|A(1,n)|^2$ ? (we know the ...

Expression of the root number for Maass forms

Take a holomorphic cusp newform, say $f \in S_k(N)^\mathrm{new}$, for a squarefree level $N$. It is an eigenvalue of the Atkin-Lehner operator, and this feature allows to express its root number as $$\...
