AbstractWe study the analogue of the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem for $\operatorname{SL}_{m}(\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke–Maass form $F(z)$. In particular, for $\operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ holomorphic or Maass Hecke eigenforms, symmetric-square lifts of holomorphic Hecke eigenforms on $\operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$, and $\operatorname{SL}_{3}(\mathbb{Z})$ Maass Hecke eigenforms under the Ramanujan conjecture, the levels of distribution are all equal to $1/2,$ which is as strong as the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem. As an application, we study an automorphic version of Titchmarch’s divisor problem; namely for $a\neq 0,$$$\begin{eqnarray}\mathop{\sum }_{n\leqslant x}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}(n)\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}(n)d(n-a)\ll x\log \log x,\end{eqnarray}$$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}(n)$ are Fourier coefficients $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{f}(n)$ of a holomorphic Hecke eigenform $f$ for $\operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ or Fourier coefficients $A_{F}(n,1)$ of its symmetric-square lift $F$. Further, as a consequence, we get an asymptotic formula $$\begin{eqnarray}\mathop{\sum }_{n\leqslant x}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}(n)\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{f}^{2}(n)d(n-a)=E_{1}(a)x\log x+O(x\log \log x),\end{eqnarray}$$ where $E_{1}(a)$ is a constant depending on $a$. Moreover, we also consider the asymptotic orthogonality of the Möbius function against the arithmetic function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}(n)d(n-a)$.
