Abstract:  Let $f$ be a normalized primitive holomorphic cusp form of even integral weight for the full modular group $\Gamma={\rm SL} (2,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $\lambda_f(n)$ the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $f$. We are interested in the average behaviour of the sum $\sum_{a^2 + b^2\leq x} \lambda_f^j(a^2+b^2)$ for $x\geq1$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $j\geq9$ is any fixed positive integer. In a similar manner, we also establish analogous results for the normalized coefficients of Dirichlet expansions of associated symmetric power $L$-functions and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions.
