Abstract

Let \(\lambda _{f}(n),\sigma (n)\) and \(\varphi (n)\) be the nth Hecke eigenvalue of the normalized Hecke–Maass cusp form, the sum-of-divisors function and the Euler totient function, respectively. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the following summatory function:

$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{n\leqslant x}\,\lambda _{f}^{j}(n)\,\sigma ^{b}(n)\,\varphi ^{c}(n) \end{aligned}$$

as \(x\rightarrow \infty \), where \(1\leqslant j\leqslant 4\) is any fixed integer.
