Abstract

Let ff and gg be holomorphic cusp forms for the modular group SL2(Z)SL_2(\mathbb Z) of weight k1k_1 and k2k_2 with Fourier coefficients λf(n)\lambda_f(n) and λg(n)\lambda_g(n), respectively. For real α0\alpha\neq0 and 0<β10<\beta\leq1, consider a smooth resonance sum SX(f,g;α,β)S_X(f,g;\alpha,\beta) of λf(n)λg(n)\lambda_f(n)\lambda_g(n) against e(αnβ)e(\alpha n^\beta) over Xn2XX\leq n\leq2X. Double square moments of SX(f,g;α,β)S_X(f,g;\alpha,\beta) over both ff and gg are nontrivially bounded when their weights k1k_1 and k2k_2 tend to infinity together. By allowing both ff and gg to move, these double moments are indeed square moments associated with automorphic forms for GL(4)GL(4). By taking out a small exceptional set of ff and gg, bounds for individual SX(f,g;α,β)S_X(f,g;\alpha,\beta) will then be proved. These individual bounds break the resonance barrier of X58X^\frac58 for 16<β<1\frac16<\beta<1 and achieve a square-root cancellation for 13<β<1\frac13<\beta<1 for almost all ff and gg as an evidence for Hypothesis S for cusp forms over integers. The methods used in this study include Petersson's formula, Poisson's summation formula, and stationary phase integrals.
