Averages of long Dirichlet polynomials with modular coefficients

Abstract

We study the moments of L-functions associated with primitive cusp forms, in the weight aspect. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the twisted moments of a long Dirichlet polynomial with modular coefficients. This result, which is conditional on the Generalized Lindelöf Hypothesis, agrees with the prediction of the recipe by Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith.
