Abstract

In this article, we prove an Omega result for the Hecke eigenvalues λF(n) of Maass forms F which are Hecke eigenforms in the space of Siegel modular forms of weight k, genus two for the Siegel modular group Sp2(). In particular, we prove

λF(n)=Ω(nk-1exp(clognloglogn)),

when c>0 is an absolute constant. This improves the earlier result

λF(n)=Ω(nk-1(lognloglogn))

of Das and the third author. We also show that for any n3, one has

λF(n)nk-1exp(c1lognloglogn),

where c1>0 is an absolute constant. This improves an earlier result of Pitale and Schmidt. Further, we investigate the limit points of the sequence {λF(n)/nk-1}n and show that it has infinitely many limit points. Finally, we show that λF(n)>0 for all n, a result proved earlier by Breulmann by a different technique.
