Abstract: The quadratic form $V(varphi,Q)=su{m}_{qsimQ}su{m}_{amo{d}^{\ast }q}|S(varphi,a/q){|}^2$ and its eigenvalues are well understood when $Q=o(sqrtN)$, while $V(varphi,Q)$ is expected to behave like a Riemann sum when $N=o(Q)$. The behavior in the range $Qin[sqrtN,100N]$ is still mysterious. In the present work we present a full spectral analysis when $Qge{N}^{7/8}$ in terms of the eigenvalues of a one-parameter family of nuclear difference operators. We show in particular that (a smoothed version of) the quadratic form $V(varphi,Q)$ may stay emph{away} from $(6/p{i}^2)Qsu{m}_n|varph{i}_n{|}^2$ when $QasympN$, though only on a vector space of positive but small dimension.
