The latter problem was recently studied by \\'E. Fouvry, S. Ganguly, E. Kowalski, and Ph. Michel. We prove a complementary result to their main theorem. We also show that in short intervals of certain lengths the divisor function has a Gaussian limiting distribution. The analogous problems for Hecke eigenvalues are also considered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-06T14:06:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "divisor function", "hecke eigenvalues", "short intervals", "arithmetic progressions", "complementary result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.1579L" } } }
