Abstract

We establish a doubly-weighted vertical Sato-Tate law for GL(4) with explicit error terms. The main ingredient is an extension of the orthogonality relation for Maass cusp forms on GL(4) of Goldfeld, Stade, and Woodbury from spherical to general forms, and without their assumption of the Ramanujan conjecture for the error term.
