Key points

  • The quantum variance of holomorphic cusp forms on the vertical geodesic is computed.
  • The variance is linked to an averaged shifted-convolution problem.
  • An asymptotic evaluation of the shifted-convolution problem is performed.
  • An off-diagonal term is found to exactly match a diagonal term, similar to L-function moments.

Abstract

We compute the quantum variance of holomorphic cusp forms on the vertical geodesic for smooth, compactly supported test functions. The variance is related to an averaged shifted-convolution problem that we evaluate asymptotically. We encounter an off-diagonal term that matches exactly with a certain diagonal term, a feature reminiscent of moments of L -functions.
