Abstract

Let λg(n)\lambda_g (n) be the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp modular form gg for SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z}). The aim of this article is to get non-trivial bound on non-linearly additively twisted sums of the Fourier coefficients λg(n)\lambda_g (n). Precisely, we prove for any 3/4<β<3/23/4 < \beta < 3/2, β1\beta \neq 1 , the following non-trivial estimate nNλg(n)e(αnβ)g,α,β,εN12+β3+ε+N322β3+ε, \sum_{n \leq N}\lambda_g(n)\,e(\alpha\, n^{\beta})\ll_{g, \alpha, \beta, \varepsilon} N^{\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{\beta}{3} +\varepsilon} + N^{\frac{3}{2}-\frac {2\beta}{3} + \varepsilon}, for any ε>0\varepsilon > 0. This is the first time that non-trivial estimate for such sums is achieved for 1<β<3/21 < \beta < 3/2, breaking the barrier β=1\beta = 1 in the work of X. Ren and Y. Ye. It also improves their estimate in the range 9/10<β<19/10 < \beta < 1. The key of our approach is a newly developed Bessel δ\delta-method.
