1. Introduction

Within the study of number theory, the Fourier coefficients derived from modular forms serve as pivotal and deeply intriguing mathematical entities. Let L ( s , f ) be the L-function attached with the primitive holomorphic cusp form f of weight k for the full modular group S L 2 ( Z ) . Let λ f ( n ) be the n t h normalized Fourier coefficient of the Fourier expansion of f ( z ) at the cusp , that is,
f ( z ) = n = 1 λ f ( n ) n k 1 2 e 2 π i n z , ( z ) > 0 .
Then for ( s ) > 1 , the L-function attached to λ f ( n ) is defined as
L ( s , f ) = n = 1 λ f ( n ) n s ,
where λ f ( n ) are Hecke eigenvalues of all Hecke operators T n .
The associated L-function is given by
L ( s , f ) = n = 1 λ f ( n ) n s = p 1 α ( p ) p s 1 1 β ( p ) p s 1 ,
which converges absolutely for σ = ( s ) > 1 , where α ( p ) and β ( p ) are related to the normalized Fourier coefficients in the following way
α ( p ) + β ( p ) = λ f ( p ) , | α ( p ) | = | β ( p ) | = α ( p ) β ( p ) = 1 .
From Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture,
| λ f ( n ) | d ( n ) ,
where d ( n ) is the divisor function. Studying the properties and average behaviors of various sums concerning λ f ( n ) is an interesting problem. In number theory, classical problems are investigate mean value estimates of these Fourier coefficients and related problems with the corresponding automorphic L-functions (for examples, see [2,5,6,21] etc.)
Let j N . The j t h symmetric power L-function associated with f is defined as
L ( s , sym j f ) = p m = 0 j 1 α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) p s 1
for ( s ) > 1 , which can also be written as the following Dirichlet series
L ( s , sym j f ) = n = 1 λ sym j f ( n ) n s = p 1 + i 1 λ sym j f ( p i ) p i s ,
here λ sym j f ( n ) is real valued and multiplicative. In particular,
L ( s , sym 0 f ) = ζ ( s ) , L ( s , sym 1 f ) = L ( s , f ) .
The j t h symmetric power L-function twisted by χ is defined as
L ( s , sym j f × χ ) : = p u = 0 j 1 α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) χ ( p ) p s 1 = n = 1 λ sym j f ( n ) χ ( n ) n s
for ( s ) > 1 . We will take χ as the specific χ or χ ˜ 0 in this paper.
Several authors have considered the average behaviors of the Fourier coefficients of the j t h symmetric power L-function L ( s , sym j f ) . In [3], Fomenko showed that
n x λ sym j f ( n ) x 1 / 2 log 2 x ,
and he further established that
n x λ sym j f 2 ( n ) = c x + O x θ
in [4], where θ < 1 . In addition, many scholars have studied related problem, see [8–10,12,18].
In [20], Zhai gave asymptotic formulas for
a 2 + b 2 x ( a , b ) Z 2 λ f ( a 2 + b 2 )
for x 1 and 3 l 8 . Afterwards, Xu [19] and Liu [11] improved Zhai’s result. For results related of the Fourier coefficients of symmetric square L-functions on a certain sequence of positive integers, see [15–17].
In 2023, Sharma and Sankaranarayanan considered some higher moments of these n t h normalized Fourier coefficients and established the asymptotic formulas
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 x ( a , b , s , d ) Z 4 λ sym 2 f 3 ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ) = c 1 x 2 + O x 27 / 14 + ε
and
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 x ( a , b , s , d ) Z 4 λ sym 2 f 4 ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ) = c 2 x 2 + O x 160 / 81 + ε
for a sufficiently large x, where c 1 and c 2 are effective constants.
In this paper, we consider some higher moments of the n t h Fourier coefficients of j t h symmetric power L-functions on certain sequence. The main results are as follows.
Theorem 1.
Let j 2 and j N . For a sufficiently large x and any ε > 0 , we have
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 x ( a , b , s , d ) Z 4 λ sym j f 3 ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ) = c 1 x 2 + O x 2 84 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 + 2 ε ,
where c 1 is an effective constant defined as
c 1 = 2 ζ ( 2 ) n = 1 j L ( 2 , sym 3 n f ) L ( 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 3 ( 2 ) ,
H 3 ( 2 ) is a Dirichlet series that converges uniformly, and absolutely in the half plane ( s ) > 3 2 , and H 3 ( s ) 0 on ( s ) = 2 , and χ ˜ 0 is a character modulo 4.
Remark. 
When j = 2 , the O-term in (2) is O x 223 122 + 2 ε , which is better than the Theorem 1 in [15].
Theorem 2.
Let j 2 and j N . For a sufficiently large x and any ε > 0 , we have
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 x ( a , b , s , d ) Z 4 λ sym j f 4 ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ) = c 2 x 2 + O x 2 42 42 j 2 + 63 j + 13 + 2 ε ,
where c 2 is an effective constant defined as
c 2 = 2 ζ ( 2 ) n = 1 j L ( 2 , sym 4 n f ) L ( 1 , sym 4 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 4 ( 2 ) ,
H 4 ( 2 ) is a Dirichlet series that converges uniformly, and absolutely in the half plane ( s ) > 3 2 , and H 4 ( s ) 0 on ( s ) = 2 , and χ ˜ 0 is a character modulo 4.
Remark. 
When j = 2 , the O-term in (3) is O x 538 290 + 2 ε , which is better than the Theorem 2 in [15].
The organization of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some preliminaries and also give some useful lemmas. In Section 3 and Section 4, we are give the proof of Theorems 1 and 2, respectively.

2. Some Preliminary Lemmas

In this section, we will establish some lemmas and preliminary results which are used to prove the theorems. Let r k ( n ) : = { ( n 1 , n 2 , , n k ) Z k : n 1 2 + n 2 2 + + n k 2 = n } allowing zeros, distinguishing signs and order. We are interested in the function r 4 ( n ) .
Lemma 1.
For any positive integer n, we have
r 4 ( n ) = 8 d | n , 4 d d .
Moreover, r 4 ( n ) is multiplicative function.
Proof. 
This is [16, Lemma 2.1]. □
We note that,
a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 x ( a , b , c , d ) Z 4 λ sym j f η ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ) = n x λ sym j f η ( n ) n = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ( a , b , c , d ) Z 4 1 = n x λ sym j f η ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = 8 n x λ sym j f η ( n ) r ( n ) ,
where r ( n ) = d | n , 4 d d with η = 3 or 4.
We observe that r ( n ) possesses a multiplicative property and is defined as follows:
r ( p u ) : = 1 p u + 1 1 p , p > 2 , 3 , p = 2 .
We express r 4 ( n ) = 8 d | n χ ˜ 0 ( d ) d , where χ ˜ 0 represents a character modulo 4, defined by:
χ ˜ 0 ( p u ) : = χ ˜ 0 ( p u ) , p > 2 , 3 , p = 2 ,
and χ ˜ 0 is the principal character modula 4.
Note that, r ( p ) = d | p χ ˜ 0 ( d ) d = 1 p χ ˜ 0 ( p ) .
Lemma 2.
For any ε > 0 , we have
1 T ζ 5 7 + i t 12 d t T 1 + ε
uniformly for T 1 , and
ζ ( σ + i t ) ( 1 + | t | ) max { 13 42 ( 1 σ ) , 0 } + ε
uniformly for 1 2 σ 2 and | t | 1 .
Proof. 
The first result can be founded in [7], the second result can be founded in [1]. □
Lemma 3.
For any ε > 0 , we have
1 T ζ 5 7 + i t 12 d t T 1 + ε
uniformly for T 1 , and
ζ ( σ + i t ) ( 1 + | t | ) max { 13 42 ( 1 σ ) , 0 } + ε
uniformly for 1 2 σ 2 and | t | 1 .
Proof. 
For a prime p, 0 j 4 and ( s ) > 1 , we know that, the p t h Fourier coefficient of j t h symmetric power L-function of f can be written as
λ sym j f ( p ) = m = 0 j α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) .
For 0 j 4 and ( s ) > 1 , Rankin-Selberg L-function attached to sym i f and sym j f has the following equation
λ sym i f × sym j f ( p ) = m = 0 i u = 0 j α i m ( p ) β m ( p ) α j u ( p ) β u ( p ) = m = 0 i α i m ( p ) β m ( p ) u = 0 j α j u ( p ) β u ( p ) = λ sym i f ( p ) λ sym j f ( p ) .
Since λ sym j f ( n ) is a multiplicative function and | λ sym j f ( n ) | d j + 1 ( n ) , here d j + 1 ( n ) is the number of ways of expressing n as a product of j + 1 factors, we can write the Euler product of L ( s , sym j f ) as
p 1 + λ sym j f ( p ) p s + + λ sym j f ( p l ) p l s + .
We can obtain (4) from (1) and (5).
Moreover, according to Hecke
λ sym j f ( p ) = λ f ( p j ) .
Also, observe that
λ f 2 ( p j ) = 1 + l = 1 j λ f ( p 2 l ) .
Since
λ f 2 ( p j ) = m = 0 j α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) 2 = m = 0 j α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) m = 0 j α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) = m = 0 j m = 0 j α 2 j ( m + m ) ( p ) β ( m + m ) = l = 0 j t = 0 2 l α 2 j t ( p ) β t ( p ) = 1 + l = 1 j t = 0 2 l α 2 j t ( p ) β t ( p ) = 1 + l = 1 j λ f ( p 2 l ) .
Lemma 4.
Suppose that f is a normalized primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight k for S L 2 ( Z ) and λ sym j f ( n ) is the n t h normalized Fourier coefficients of the j t h symmetric power L-function related to f. For ( s ) > 2 , if
F 3 ( s ) = n = 1 λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r ( n ) n s ,
we have
F 3 ( s ) = G 3 ( s ) H 3 ( s ) ,
where
G 3 ( s ) : = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 3 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) ,
here χ ˜ 0 is a character modulo 4, and H 3 ( s ) is a Dirichlet series which converges uniformly and absolutely in the half plane ( s ) > 3 2 and H 3 ( s ) 0 on ( s ) = 2 .
Proof. 
Note that
λ sym j f 3 ( p ) r ( p ) = m = 0 j α j m ( p ) β m ( p ) 3 ( 1 + χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p ) = λ f 3 ( p j ) ( 1 + χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p ) = 1 + m = 1 j λ f ( p 3 m ) ( 1 + χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p ) = 1 + m = 1 j λ sym 3 m f ( p ) ( 1 + χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p ) = 1 + χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p + m = 1 j λ sym 3 m f ( p ) + m = 1 j λ sym 3 m f ( p ) χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p = : b ( p ) .
From the structure of b ( p ) , we define the coefficients b ( n ) as
n = 1 b ( n ) n s = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 3 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) ,
which is absolutely convergent in ( s ) > 3 . We also note that, for ( s ) > 2 ,
p 1 + b ( p ) p s + + b ( p m ) p m s + = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 3 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) = : G 3 ( s ) .
Observe that b ( n ) ε n 1 + ε for any small positive constant ε .
We remark that
b ( p ) p s + b ( p 2 ) p 2 s + + b ( p m ) p m s + m = 1 p ( 1 + ε ) l p m σ m = 1 p ( 1 + ε ) m p ( 2 + 2 ε ) m ( in ( s ) 2 + 2 ε ) = m = 1 1 p ( 1 + ε ) m = 1 / p 1 + ε 1 1 / p 1 + ε = 1 p 1 + ε 1 < 1 .
Let us write
A = λ sym j f 3 ( p ) r ( p ) p s + + λ sym j f 3 ( p ) r ( p ) p s +
and
B = b ( p ) p s + + b ( p m ) p m s + .
From the above calculations we observe that | B | < 1 in ( s ) 2 + 2 ε .
Take note that
1 + A 1 + B = ( 1 + A ) ( 1 B + B 2 B 3 + c d o t s ) ( in ( s ) 2 + 2 ε ) = 1 + A B A B + higher terms = 1 + λ sym j f 3 ( p 2 ) r ( p 2 ) b ( p 2 ) p 2 s + + c m ( p m ) p m s + ,
where c m ( n ) ε n 1 + ε . Thus,
p 1 + A 1 + B = p 1 + λ sym j f 3 ( p 2 ) r ( p 2 ) b ( p 2 ) p 2 s + + c m ( p m ) p m s + ε 1 in ( s ) > 3 2 .
So we have
H 3 ( s ) : = F 3 ( s ) G 3 ( s ) = p 1 + A 1 + B ε 1 in ( s ) > 3 2 .
Furthermore, H 3 ( s ) 0 on ( s ) = 2 . □
Lemma 5.
Suppose that f is a normalized primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight k for S L 2 ( Z ) and λ sym j f ( n ) is the n t h normalized Fourier coefficients of the j t h symmetric power L-function related to f. For ( s ) > 2 , if
F 4 ( s ) = n = 1 λ sym j f 4 ( n ) r ( n ) n s ,
we have
F 4 ( s ) = G 4 ( s ) H 4 ( s ) ,
where
G 4 ( s ) : = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 4 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 4 n f χ ˜ 0 ) ,
here χ ˜ 0 is a character modulo 4, and H 4 ( s ) is a Dirichlet series which converges uniformly and absolutely in the half plane ( s ) > 3 2 and H 4 ( s ) 0 on ( s ) = 2 .
Proof. 
The proof of this lemma is similar to the proof of Lemma 5. We omit the detail. □
Lemma 6.
Suppose that L ( s , f ) is a Dirichlet series with Euler product of degree m 2 , which is defined as
L ( s , f ) = p < i = 0 l 1 α ( p , i ) p s 1 ,
where α ( p , i ) are local parameters of L ( s , f ) at prime p. Suppose that:
(i) Its Euler product representation converges absolutely in the half-plane ( s ) > 1 ,
(ii) It admits a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane C ,
(iii) It satisfies a degree m functional equation of Riemann type.
Then we have
T 2 T L 1 2 + i t + ε , f 2 d t T m 2 + ε
for T 1 , and we have
| L ( σ + i t , f ) | ( 1 + | t | ) m 2 ( 1 σ + i t ) + ε
for 0 σ 1 + ε .
Proof. 
This two results follow from Perelli [14] and Matsumoto [13]. □

3. Proof of Theorem 1

By applying Perron’s formula with ξ = 2 + ε and 10 T x to F 3 ( s ) , we can get
n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = 8 n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r ( n ) = 8 2 π i ξ i T ξ + i T F 3 ( s ) x s s d s + O x 2 + 2 ε T .
Note that
L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) = n = 1 χ ˜ 0 ( n ) n s 1 = p 1 χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p s 1 1 = 1 χ ˜ 0 ( 2 ) 2 s 1 1 p > 2 1 χ ˜ 0 ( p ) p s 1 = 1 3 2 s 1 1 1 1 2 s 1 p 1 χ 0 ( p ) p s 1 1 = 1 3 2 s 1 1 1 1 2 s 1 L ( s 1 , χ 0 ) = 1 3 2 s 1 1 1 1 2 s 1 2 ζ ( s 1 ) ,      ( 1 )
where we used
L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) = n = 1 χ ˜ 0 ( n ) n s 1 = p ( p , 4 ) = 1 1 1 p s 1 1 = 1 1 2 s 1 p 1 1 p s 1 1 = 1 1 2 s 1 ζ ( s 1 ) .
So we have
F 3 ( s ) : = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 3 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 3 ( s ) = ζ ( s ) 1 3 2 s 1 1 1 1 2 s 1 2 ζ ( s 1 ) × n = 1 j L ( s , sym 3 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 3 ( s ) .
Shifting the line of integration to ( s ) = 12 7 + ε and applying Cauchy’s residue theorem, we can get there is only one simple pole at s = 2 , which is coming from factor ζ ( s 1 ) , contributes the residue c 1 x 2 , where c 1 is an effective constant depending on the values of various L-functions appearing in G 3 ( s ) at s = 2 . To be more precise,
c 1 = 8 lim s 2 ( s 2 ) F 3 ( s ) s = 8 ζ ( 2 ) 1 2 1 2 n = 1 j L ( 2 , sym 3 n f ) L ( 1 , sym 3 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 3 ( 2 ) .
Thus we can get
n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 1 x 2 + 8 2 π i 12 7 i T + ε 12 7 + i T + ε + 2 i T + ε 12 7 i T + ε + 12 7 + i T + ε 2 + i T + ε × F 3 ( s ) x s s d s + O x 2 + 2 ε T = c 1 x 2 + 8 2 π i ( U 1 + U 2 + U 3 ) + O x 2 + 2 ε T .
By Lemmas 3, 4 and 6, we can obtain that the contribution of the horizontal line integrals ( U 2 and U 3 ) in absolute value is
12 7 + ε 2 + ε ζ ( σ 1 + i T ) L ( σ 1 + i T , sym 3 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( σ 1 + i T , sym 3 j f χ ˜ 0 ) T x σ d σ 5 7 + ε 1 + ε ζ ( σ + i T ) L ( σ + i T , sym 3 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( σ + i T , sym 3 j f χ ˜ 0 ) T x σ + 1 d σ x T max 5 7 + ε σ 1 + ε x σ T j ( 3 j + 5 ) 4 ( 1 σ + ε ) T 13 42 ( 1 σ + ε ) x 1 + ε T max 5 7 + ε σ 1 + ε x T 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 84 σ T 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 84 x 1 + ε x 5 7 + ε T 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 294 1 + ε + x 1 + ε T 1 x 12 7 T 3 j 2 + 5 j 14 134 147 + ε + x 2 + 2 ε T 1 .
By using Hölder’s inequality and Lemmas 2, 4, 6, we can get the contribution of left vertical line integral U 1 in absolute value is
12 7 i T + ε 12 7 + i T + ε ζ ( 5 7 + i t + ε ) L ( 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 3 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 3 j f χ ˜ 0 ) | 12 7 + i t + ε | x 12 7 + ε d t x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 + ε T 10 | t | T ζ 5 7 + i t + ε 12 1 12 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 3 f χ ˜ 0 2 1 2 × 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 6 f χ ˜ 0 2 5 12 max 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 6 f χ ˜ 0 1 6 × max 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 9 f χ ˜ 0 L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 3 j f χ ˜ 0 x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 + ε T T 1 12 + ε T 4 7 + ε T 5 6 + ε T 1 6 + ε T 10 + 13 + + ( 3 j + 1 ) 7 + ε x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 T 3 j 2 + 5 j 14 11 12 + ε x 12 7 T 3 j 2 + 5 j 14 11 12 + ε .
Therefore, we can get
n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 1 x 2 + O x 12 7 T 3 j 2 + 5 j 14 134 147 + ε + x 2 + 2 ε T 1
Taking T = x 84 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 , then we have
n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 1 x 2 + O x 2 84 63 j 2 + 105 j + 26 + 2 ε .
Thus we complete the proof of Theorem 1.

4. Proof of Theorem 2

By applying Perron’s formula with ξ = 2 + ε and 10 T x to F 4 ( s ) , we can get
n x λ sym j f 4 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = 8 n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r ( n ) = 8 2 π i ξ i T ξ + i T F 4 ( s ) x s s d s + O x 2 + 2 ε T .
By (1), we have
F 4 ( s ) : = ζ ( s ) L ( s 1 , χ ˜ 0 ) n = 1 j L ( s , sym 4 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 4 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 4 ( s ) = ζ ( s ) 1 3 2 s 1 1 1 1 2 s 1 2 ζ ( s 1 ) × n = 1 j L ( s , sym 4 n f ) L ( s 1 , sym 4 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 4 ( s ) .
Shifting the line of integration to ( s ) = 12 7 + ε and applying Cauchy’s residue theorem, we can get there is only one simple pole at s = 2 , which is coming from factor ζ ( s 1 ) , contributes the residue c 2 x 2 , where c 2 is an effective constant depending on the values of various L-functions appearing in G 4 ( s ) at s = 2 . To be more precise,
c 2 = 8 lim s 2 ( s 2 ) F 4 ( s ) s = 8 ζ ( 2 ) 1 2 1 2 n = 1 j L ( 2 , sym 4 n f ) L ( 1 , sym 4 n f χ ˜ 0 ) H 4 ( 2 ) .
Thus we can get
n x λ sym j f 4 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 2 x 2 + 8 2 π i 12 7 i T + ε 12 7 + i T + ε + 2 i T + ε 12 7 i T + ε + 12 7 + i T + ε 2 + i T + ε × F 4 ( s ) x s s d s + O x 2 + 2 ε T = c 1 x 2 + 8 2 π i ( D 1 + D 2 + D 3 ) + O x 2 + 2 ε T .
By Lemmas 3, 4 and 6, we can obtain that the contribution of the horizontal line integrals ( D 2 and D 3 ) in absolute value is
12 7 + ε 2 + ε ζ ( σ 1 + i T ) L ( σ 1 + i T , sym 4 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( σ 1 + i T , sym 4 j f χ ˜ 0 ) T x σ d σ 5 7 + ε 1 + ε ζ ( σ + i T ) L ( σ + i T , sym 4 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( σ + i T , sym 4 j f χ ˜ 0 ) T x σ + 1 d σ

By using Hölder’s inequality and Lemmas 2, 4, 6, we can get the contribution of left vertical line integral U 1 in absolute value is
12 7 i T + ε 12 7 + i T + ε ζ ( 5 7 + i t + ε ) L ( 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 4 f χ ˜ 0 ) L ( 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 4 j f χ ˜ 0 ) | 12 7 + i t + ε | x 12 7 + ε d t x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 + ε T 10 | t | T ζ 5 7 + i t + ε 12 1 12 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 4 f χ ˜ 0 2 1 2 × 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 8 f χ ˜ 0 2 5 12 max 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 8 f χ ˜ 0 1 6 × max 10 | t | T L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 12 f χ ˜ 0 L 5 7 + i t + ε , sym 4 j f χ ˜ 0 x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 + ε T T 1 12 + ε T 5 7 + ε T 15 14 + ε T 3 14 + ε T 13 + 17 + + ( 4 j + 1 ) 7 + ε x 12 7 + ε + x 12 7 T 2 j 2 + 3 j 7 11 12 + ε x 12 7 T 2 j 2 + 3 j 7 11 12 + ε .
Therefore, we can get
n x λ sym j f 3 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 1 x 2 + O x 12 7 T 2 j 2 + 3 j 7 134 147 + ε + x 2 + 2 ε T 1
Taking T = x 42 42 j 2 + 63 j + 13 , then we have
n x λ sym j f 4 ( n ) r 4 ( n ) = c 2 x 2 + O x 2 42 42 j 2 + 63 j + 13 + 2 ε .
Thus we complete the proof of Theorem 1.
