Abstract

Let ff be the Hecke eigenform for the modular group SL2(Z)SL_2(\mathbb{Z}), and L(s,sym2f)L(s, \text{sym}^2 f) be the symmetric square LL-function associated with ff. For 12<σ<1\frac{1}{2}<\sigma<1, define m(σ)m(\sigma) as the supremum of all numbers mm such that 1TL(σ+it,sym2f)mdtfT1+ε, \int_{1}^T|L(\sigma+it, \text{sym}^2 f)|^m \text{d}t\ll_f T^{1+\varepsilon}, where ϵ>0\epsilon>0 is an arbitrarily small number. In this paper, we established the bound \begin{align*} m(\sigma)\geq \frac{17}{26-28\sigma}, \text{ for }\frac{5}{8}\leq\sigma\leq\frac{52}{73}, \end{align*} which improved our previous result.
