Abstract

We prove a weighted Sato-Tate law for the Satake parameters of automorphic forms on GSp4\rm{GSp}_4 with respect to a fairly general congruence subgroup HH whose level tends to infinity. When the level is squarefree we refine our result to the cuspidal spectrum. The ingredients are the GSp4\rm{GSp}_4 Kuznetsov formula and the explicit calculation of local integrals involved in the Whittaker coefficients of GSp4\rm{GSp}_4 Eisenstein series. We also discuss how the problem of bounding the continuous spectrum in the level aspect naturally leads to some combinatorial questions involving the double cosets in P\G/HP \backslash G / H, for each parabolic subgroup PP.
