Abstract

The Fourier coefficients of a Maass form ϕ for SL(n,\mathbb Z) are complex numbers Aϕ(M), where M=(m1,m2,…,mn-1) and m1,m2,… ,mn-1 are nonzero integers. It is well known that coefficients of the form Aϕ(m1,1,…,1) are eigenvalues of the Hecke algebra and are multiplicative. We prove that the more general Fourier coefficients Aϕ(m1,…,mn-1) are also eigenvalues of the Hecke algebra and satisfy the multiplicativity relations Aϕ(m1m1', m2m2', … mn-1mn-1') = Aϕ(m1,m2,…,mn-1)⋅ Aϕ(m1',m2',…,mn-1') provided the products ∏i=1n-1 mi and ∏i=1n-1 mi' are relatively prime to each other.
