Zeros of L-functions attached to Maass forms (Q1058547)

Considered are the L-functions corresponding to even real analytic cusp forms of weight zero for the modular group, eigenfunctions of all Hecke operators. It is shown that the number of zeros s of such an L-function on the critical line, satisfying \(| Im s| \leq T\), is \(\ll T.\) In the proof of this result an explicit formula is used, reconstructing the cusp form from the L-function everywhere on the upper half plane. In the well known Maass theory the inverse Mellin transform reconstructs the cusp form on \(\{\) iy\(| y>0\}\) only; so this new representation is of independent interest. For the Fourier coefficients the estimate \(\sum_{1\leq n\leq T}a_ n e^{2\pi inx}\ll_{\epsilon}T^{+\epsilon}\) is given. I distrust its proof, as an improbable asymptotic expansion of \(K_{ir}(t)^{-1}\) is used. - Minor corrections: In (4.5) insert a factor \(\ell +1\). In (5.11) take \(\int^{q}_{0}+\int^{1}_{1-q}\) with \(q=(\log n)^{\alpha}/(n+1)\) instead of \(\int^{q}_{0}\), and change (5.12) accordingly.
