Periodic twists of $GL_3$-automorphic forms

Abstract

We prove that sums of length about q3/2q^{3/2} of Hecke eigenvalues of automorphic forms on SL3(\Zz)SL_3(\Zz) do not correlate with qq-periodic functions with bounded Fourier transform. This generalizes the earlier results of Munshi and Holowinsky--Nelson, corresponding to multiplicative Dirichlet characters, and applies in particular to trace functions of small conductor modulo primes.
