Proportion of Atkin-Lehner sign patterns and Hecke Eigenvalue Equidistribution
Abstract
Let $N \ge 1$, $k \ge 2$ even, and $\sigma$ denote a sign pattern for $N$. In this paper, we first determine the exact proportion of forms in $S_k(N)$ and $S_k^\mathrm{new}(N)$ with a given Atkin-Lehner sign pattern $\sigma$. Then we study the asymptotic behavior of the Hecke operators $T_p$ over the subspaces of $S_k(N)$ and $S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(N)$ with Atkin-Lehner sign pattern $\sigma$. In particular, for the $p$-adic Plancherel measure $\mu_p$, we show that the Hecke eigenvalues for $T_p$ over these subspaces are $\mu_p$-equidistributed as $N+k \to \infty$.
