Abstract
We prove new bounds for weighted mean values of sums involving Fourier coefficients of cusp forms that are automorphic with respect to a~Hecke congruence subgroup $\Gamma\leq SL(2,{\mathbb Z}[i])$, and correspond to exceptional eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on the space $L^2(\Gamma\backslash SL(2,{\mathbb C})/SU(2))$. These results are, for certain applications, an effective substitute for the generalised Selberg eigenvalue conjecture. We give a~proof of one such application, which is an upper bound for a~sum of generalised Kloosterman sums (of significance in the study of certain mean values of Hecke zeta-functions with groessencharakters). Our proofs make extensive use of Lokvenec-Guleska's generalisation of the Bruggeman-Motohashi summation formulae for $PSL(2,{\mathbb Z}[i])\backslash PSL(2,{\mathbb C})$. We also employ a~bound of Kim and Shahidi for the first eigenvalues of the relevant Laplace operators, and an `unweighted' spectral large sieve inequality (our proof of which is to appear separately).
