m
Keyword(s):
Abstract Let π be an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation of GL m {\operatorname{GL}_{m}} over ℚ {\mathbb{Q}} with unitary central character, and let λ π ( n ) {\lambda_{\pi}(n)} be its n-th Dirichlet series coefficient. We study short sums of isotypic trace functions associated to some sheaves modulo primes q of bounded conductor, twisted by multiplicative functions λ π ( n ) {\lambda_{\pi}(n)} and μ ( n ) λ π ( n ) {\mu(n)\lambda_{\pi}(n)} . We are able to establish non-trivial bounds for these algebraic twisted sums with intervals of length of at least q 1 / 2 + ε {q^{1/2+\varepsilon}} for an arbitrary fixed ε > 0 {\varepsilon>0} .
