Abstract

In the article, we consider a question concerning the estimation of summatory function of the Fourier coefficients of Hecke eigenforms indexed by a sparse set of integers. In particular, we provide an estimate for the following sum; \begin{equation*} \begin{split} S(f, \mathcal{Q}; X ) &:= \sideset{}{^{\flat }}\sum_{n= \mathcal{Q}(\underline{x}) \le X \atop \gcd(n,N) =1 } \lambda_{f}(n), \end{split}\end{equation*} where \flat means that sum runs over the square-free positive integers, λf(n)\lambda_{f}(n) denotes the normalised nthn^{\rm th} Fourier coefficients of a Hecke eigenform ff of integral weight kk for the congruence subgroup Γ0(N)\Gamma_{0}(N) and Q\mathcal{Q} is a primitive integral positive-definite binary quadratic forms of fixed discriminant D<0D<0 with the class number h(D)=1h(D)=1. As a consequence, we determine the size, in terms of conductor of associated LL-function, for the first sign change of Hecke eigenvalues indexed by the integers which are represented by Q\mathcal{Q}. This work is an improvement and generalisation of the previous results.
