Abstract

Let FF be a Siegel cusp form of degree 2, even weight k2k \geq 2 and odd squarefree level NN. We undertake a detailed study of the analytic properties of Fourier coefficients a(F,S)a(F,S) of FF at fundamental matrices SS (i.e., with 4det(S)-4 det(S) equal to a fundamental discriminant). We prove that as SS varies along the equivalence classes of fundamental matrices with det(S)Xdet(S) \asymp X, the sequence a(F,S)a(F,S) has at least X1ϵX^{1-\epsilon} sign changes, and takes at least X1ϵX^{1-\epsilon} "large values". Furthermore, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis as well as the refined Gan--Gross--Prasad conjecture, we prove the bound a(F,S)F,ϵdet(S)k212(logdet(S))18ϵ|a(F,S)| \ll_{F, \epsilon} \frac{\det(S)^{\frac{k}2 - \frac{1}{2}}}{ (\log |\det(S)|)^{\frac18 - \epsilon}} for fundamental matrices SS.
