This conjecture is often tested by way of computing particular statistics, such as the one-level density, which evaluates a test function with compactly supported Fourier transform at normalized zeros near the central point. Iwaniec, Luo, and Sarnak studied the one-level densities of cuspidal newforms of weight $k$ and level $N$. They showed in the limit as $kN \\to\\infty$ that these families have one-level densities agreeing with orthogonal type for test functions with Fourier transform supported in $(-2,2)$. Exceeding $(-1,1)$ is important as the three orthogonal groups are indistinguishable for support up to $(-1,1)$ but are distinguishable for any larger support. We study the other family of ${\\rm GL}_2$ automorphic forms over $\\mathbb{Q}$: Maass forms. To facilitate the analysis, we use smooth weight functions in the Kuznetsov formula which, among other restrictions, vanish to order $M$ at the origin. For test functions with Fourier transform supported inside $\\left(-2 + \\frac{2}{2M+1}, 2 - \\frac{2}{2M+1}\\right)$, we unconditionally prove the one-level density of the low-lying zeros of level 1 Maass forms, as the eigenvalues tend to infinity, agrees only with that of the scaling limit of orthogonal matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-01-20T19:57:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M26", "11M41", "15A52" ], "keywords": [ "maass form", "one-level density", "low-lying zeroes", "test function", "scaling limit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.5702A" } } }
