Abstract

We study several aspects of nonvanishing Fourier coefficients of elliptic modular forms mod\bmod \ell, partially answering a question of Bella\"iche-Soundararajan concerning the asymptotic formula for the count of the number of Fourier coefficients upto xx which do not vanish mod\bmod \ell. We also propose a precise conjecture as a possible answer to this question. Further, we prove several results related to the nonvanishing of arithmetically interesting (e.g., primitive or fundamental) Fourier coefficients mod\bmod \ell of a Siegel modular form with integral algebraic Fourier coefficients provided \ell is large enough. We also make some efforts to make this "largeness" of \ell effective.
