Correlations of multiplicative functions with automorphic L-functions

Let $λ_ϕ(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper bound for the correlation $\sum_{n \leq X}f(n)λ_ϕ(n+h)$ uniformly in $0<|h|\ll X$. As applications, we consider some special cases, including $λ_π(n), \,μ(n)λ_π(n)$ and any divisor-bounded multiplicative function. Here $λ_π(n)$ denotes the $n$-th Dirichlet coefficient of $\text{GL}_m$ automorphic $L$-function $L(s,π)$ for an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation $π$, and $μ(n)$ denotes the Möbius function. In particular, some savings are achieved for shifted convolution problems on ${\rm GL}_m\times {\rm GL}_2\, (m\geq 4)$ and Hypothesis C for the first time.

Additive divisor problem for multiplicative functions

Let $τ$ denote the divisor function, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies some mild hypotheses. We establish the asymptotic formula or non-trivial upper bound for the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \leq X}f(n)τ(n-1)$. We also derive several applications to multiplicative functions in the automorphic context, including the functions $λ_π(n), \,μ(n)λ_π(n)$ and $λ_ϕ(n)^l$. Here $λ_π(n)$ denotes the $n$-th Dirichlet coefficient of $\text{GL}_m$ automorphic $L$-function $L(s,π)$ for an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation $π$, $λ_ϕ(n)$ denotes the $n$-th Fourier coefficient of a holomorphic or Maass cusp form $ϕ$ on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $μ(n)$ denotes the Möbius function. We present two different arguments. The first one mainly relies on the uniform estimates for the binary additive divisor problem, while the second is based on the recent estimates of Bettin--Chandee for trilinear forms in Kloosterman fractions. In addition, the Bourgain-Kátai-Sarnak-Ziegler criterion and Linnik's dispersion method are both employed in these two arguments.

A Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for higher rank groups

We establish a result of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the Dirichlet coefficients at prime ideals of the standard $L$-function associated to a self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation $π$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$ which is not a quadratic twist of itself. Our result does not rely on any unproven progress towards the generalized Ramanujan conjecture or the nonexistence of Landau-Siegel zeros. In particular, when $π$ is fixed and not equal to a quadratic twist of itself, we prove the first unconditional Siegel-type lower bound for the twisted $L$-values $|L(1,π\otimesχ)|$ in the $χ$-aspect, where $χ$ is a primitive quadratic Hecke character over $F$. Our result improves the levels of distribution in other works that relied on these unproven hypotheses. As applications, when $n=2,3,4$, we prove a $\mathrm{GL}_n$ analogue of the Titchmarsh divisor problem and a nontrivial bound for a certain $\mathrm{GL}_n\times\mathrm{GL}_2$ shifted convolution sum.
