On Ramanujan Primes for Hecke-Maass Cusp Forms

Number Theory 2026-05-12 v1

Abstract

For a primitive Hecke-Maass cusp form ϕ\phi of level NN with the nn-th Hecke eigenvalue λϕ(n)\lambda_{\phi}(n) and a prime number pNp\nmid N, the celebrated Ramanujan conjecture at pp asserts the following sharp upper bound: λϕ(p)2. |\lambda_{\phi}(p)| \leq 2. In this work, we determine an upper bound for the least prime pp at which the Ramanujan conjecture holds for two or three distinct primitive Hecke-Maass cusp forms simultaneously. Moreover, given a set of distinct primitive Hecke-Maass cusp forms {ϕi}\{\phi_i\}, we also provide a lower bound for the lower natural density of the set of primes at which the Ramanujan conjecture holds for at least one of the ϕi\phi_i's.
