Abstract

Let sym2fsym^{2} f denote the symmetric square lift of a Hecke eigenform fSk(Γ0(N))f \in S_{k}(\Gamma_{0}(N)) with the nthn^{\rm th}-Fourier coefficients λsym2f(n) \lambda_{sym^{2}f}(n). In this article, we prove an estimate for the first moment of the sequence {λsym2f(Q(x))}QSD,xZ2\{ \lambda_{sym^{2}f}(\mathcal{Q}(\underline{x}))\}_{\mathcal{Q} \in \mathcal{S}_{D}, \underline{x} \in \mathbb{Z}^{2}} where SD\mathcal{S}_{D} denotes the set of in-equivalent reduced forms of the discriminant DD. More precisely, we establish an estimate for the following sum: \begin{equation*} \begin{split} S(sym^{2}f, D; X ) &= \sideset{}{^{\flat }}\sum_{\substack{\mathcal{Q}(\underline{x}) \leq X \\ \underline{x} \in \mathbb{Z}^{2} ,~ \mathcal{Q} \in \mathcal{S}_{D} \\ \gcd(\mathcal{Q}(\underline{x}),N) =1 }} \lambda_{sym^{2}f}(\mathcal{Q}(\underline{x})), \end{split} \end{equation*} Moreover, we consider a question concerning the behavior of signs of the Fourier coefficients λsym2f(n),\lambda_{sym^{2}f}(n), supported on the set of integers represented by reduced forms of the discriminant DD. We determine the size of nsym2f,Dn_{sym^{2}f, D} (see definition before \thmref{ExtMatKLSW}), in terms of the conductor of the associated LL-functions.
