This method was adapted to families of elliptic curves in by the first and second-named authors (arXiv:1705.09229). In this context, a Central Limit Theorem was established only under a strong hypothesis going beyond the Riemann Hypothesis. In the present paper, we consider a smoothed version of the Sato-Tate conjecture, which allows us to overcome several limitations. In particular, for the smoothed version, we are able to establish a Central Limit Theorem for much smaller families of modular forms, and we succeed in proving a theorem of this type for families of elliptic curves under the Riemann Hypothesis for $L$-functions associated to Hecke eigenforms for the full modular group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-17T12:15:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F11", "11F25", "11F41", "11G05", "11G40" ], "keywords": [ "central limit theorem", "elliptic curves", "modular forms", "smooth weight functions", "riemann hypothesis" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
