Asymptotics for cuspidal representations by functoriality from GL(2)

Let $\pi$ be a unitary automorphic cuspidal representation of $GL_2(\mathbb{Q}_\mathbb{A})$ with Fourier coefficients $\lambda_\pi(n)$. Asymptotic expansions of certain sums of $\lambda_\pi(n)$ are proved using known functorial liftings from $GL_2$, including symmetric powers, isobaric sums, exterior square from $GL_4$ and base change. These asymptotic expansions are manifestation of the underlying functoriality and reflect value distribution of $\lambda_\pi(n)$ on integers, squares, cubes and fourth powers.
