Abstract: Let f and g be weight k holomorphic cusp forms and let Sf(n) and Sg(n) denote the sums of their first n Fourier coefficients. Hafner and Ivic [HI], building on Chandrasekharan and Narasimhan [CN], proved asymptotics for sumnleqXlvertSf(n)vert2 and proved that the Classical Conjecture, that Sf(X)llXfrack12+frac14+epsilon, holds on average over long intervals. In this paper, we introduce and obtain meromorphic continuations for the Dirichlet series D(s,SfimesSg)=sumSf(n)overlineSg(n)n(s+k1) and D(s,SfimesoverlineSg)=sumnSf(n)Sg(n)n(s+k1). Using these meromorphic continuations, we prove asymptotics for the smoothed second moment sums sumSf(n)overlineSg(n)en/X, proving a smoothed generalization of [HI]. We also attain asymptotics for analogous smoothed second moment sums of normalized Fourier coefficients, proving smoothed generalizations of what would be attainable from [CN]. Our methodology extends to a wide variety of weights and levels, and comparison with [CN] indicates very general cancellation between the Rankin-Selberg L-function L(s,fimesg) and shifted convolution sums of the coefficients of f and g. In forthcoming works, the authors apply the results of this paper to prove the Classical Conjecture on lvertSf(n)vert2 is true on short intervals, and to prove sign change results on Sf(n)ninmathbbN.
