Abstract

We consider two problems concerning signs of Fourier coefficients of classical modular forms, or equivalently Hecke eigenvalues: first, we give an upper bound for the size of the first sign-change of Hecke eigenvalues in terms of conductor and weight; second, we investigate to what extent the signs of Fourier coefficients determine an unique modular form. In both cases we improve recent results of Kowalski, Lau, Soundararajan and Wu. A part of the paper is also devoted to generalized rearrangement inequalities which are utilized in an alternative treatment of the second question.
