Luo, Wenzhi The spectral mean value for linear forms in twisted coefficients of cusp forms. (English) Zbl 0821.11035 Acta Arith. 70, No. 4, 377-391 (1995). This paper concerns the large sieve type inequality for the twisted Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms. The approach goes through the complete spectral resolution of the Laplacian via Kuznetsov’s formula. The desired inequality for the contribution from the discrete spectrum is achieved after the dominating term from the continuous spectrum cancels out with a part of sum of the Kloosterman sums. The result has application to estimating the size of the automorphic \(L\)-functions at the special points.
