Statistics of Hecke eigenvalues for GL(𝑛)
Abstract A two-dimensional central limit theorem for the eigenvalues of {\mathrm{GL}(n)} Hecke–Maass cusp forms is newly derived. The covariance matrix is diagonal and hence verifies the statistical independence between the real and imaginary parts of the eigenvalues. We also prove a central limit theorem for the number of weighted eigenvalues in a compact region of the complex plane, and evaluate some moments of eigenvalues for the Hecke operator {T_{p}} which reveal interesting interferences.
