Abstract: The Katz-Sarnak philosophy predicts that the behavior of zeros near the central point in families of L-functions agrees with that of eigenvalues near 1 of random matrix ensembles. Under GRH, Iwaniec, Luo and Sarnak showed agreement in the one-level densities for cuspidal newforms with the support of the Fourier transform of the test function in (2,2). They increased the support further under a square-root cancellation conjecture, showing that a mGL(1) estimate led to additional agreement between number theory and random matrix theory. We formulate a two-dimensional analog and show it leads to improvements in the two-level density. Specifically, we show that a square-root cancellation of certain classical exponential sums over primes increases the support of the test functions such that the main terms in the 1- and 2-level densities of cuspidal newforms averaged over bounded weight k (and fixed level 1) converge to their random matrix theory predictions. We also conjecture a broad class of such exponential sums where we expect improvement in the case of arbitrary n-level densities, and note that the arguments in [ILS] yield larger support than claimed.
