Abstract: Let f be a half-integral weight cusp form of level 4N for odd and squarefree N and let a(n) denote its nmth normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients a(n) are real, we study the sign of a(n) when n runs through an arithmetic progression. As a consequence, we establish a lower bound for the number of integers nlex such that a(n)>n−alpha where x and alpha are positive and f is not necessarily a Hecke eigenform.


Let \(f:=\sum_{n \geq 1} a(n) n^{\frac{\ell-1/2}{2}} e(nz) \) be a half-integral weight \(\ell +1/2\) cusp form of level \(4N\) for odd and squarefree \(N\). Assume that all the coefficients \(a(n)\) are real. Then in the paper under review, the author studies the sign of \(a(n)\) when \(n\) runs through an arithmetic progression. In case where \(f\) is an Hecke eigenform, he obtains \(\frac{x^{1-\epsilon}}{p^{7/4}}\) for positive \(\varepsilon\) as a lower bound for the sets defined in the paper. In case where \(f\) is not necessarily a Hecke eigenform, he establishes a lower bound for the number of integers \(n \leq x\) such that \(a(n)>n^{-\alpha}\), where \(x\) and \(\alpha\) are positive, this is the most interesting result of the paper. Furthermore, he is not just looking at the signs of the coefficients, he also provides lower bounds for \(|a(n)|\) which is also new.
