On Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half integral weight at squarefree integers (Q2272972)

In the paper under review, the authors show that the Dirichlet series associated to the Fourier coefficients of a half-integral weight Hecke eigenform at squarefree integers extends analytically to a holomorphic function in the half-plane \(\mathfrak{Re} s > \frac{1}{2}\). This exhibits a high fluctuation of the coefficients at squarefree integers and improves a sign-change result in [\textit{Y.-K. Lau} et al., Mathematika 62, No. 3, 866--883 (2016; Zbl 1404.11046)]. The proof is based on classical analytical number theory methods.
