Furthermore, we obtain the joint distribution of these arithmetic functions in two related residue classes. These results follow from asymptotic evaluations of the relevant moments, and depend crucially on results on the independence of monodromy groups related to products of Kloosterman sums.Divisor functionHecke eigenvaluesFourier coefficients of modular formsarithmetic progressionscentral limit theoremKloosterman sumsmonodromy groupSato-Tate equidistributionGaussian distribution for the divisor function and Hecke eigenvalues in arithmetic progressionstext::journal::journal article::research article
