Abstract

Let f be a Hecke-Maass or holomorphic primitive cusp form for SL(2,Z)SL(2,\mathbb{Z}) with Fourier coefficients λf(n)\lambda_{f}(n). Let χ\chi be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus p, where p is a prime number. In this article we prove the following Weyl-type bound: for any ϵ>0\epsilon >0, nNλf(n)χ(n)f,ϵN3/4p1/6(pN)ϵ.\sum_{|n| \ll N}\lambda_{f}(n)\chi (n) \ll_{f,\epsilon}N^{3/4 }p^{1/6}(pN)^{\epsilon}. We can see an improvement of the range N>p3/4N > p^{3/4} to the range N>p2/3N > p^{2/3} and we get a bound for Sf,χ(N)S_{f,\chi}(N) without going into the LL-function.
