A note on the extended Bruinier-Kohnen conjecture (Q2285752)

Let \(f\) be a cusp form of half-integral weight \(k+1/2\), whose Fourier coefficients \(a(n)\) are not necessarily real. In the paper under review, the authors prove an extension of the Bruinier-Kohnen conjecture on the equidistribution of the signs of \(a(n)\) for the families \(\{ a(tp^{2v}) \}_{p, \text{ prime}}\) where \(\nu\) and \(t\) be fixed odd positive integer and square-free integer respectively. The proof is based on the idea of the reviewer and \textit{G. Wiese} [Arch. Math. 101, No. 4, 331--339 (2013; Zbl 1333.11042)], namely, the Sato-Tate conjecture and the Shimura lift.
