Abstract

For M1M_1 and M2 M_2 two distinct primes, let Hk(M1M2,ψ) H_k^\star(M_1M_2, \psi) denote the set of primitive newforms of level M1M2M_1M_2, weight k3k\geq 3 and Nebentypus ψ\psi of conductor M1M_1. Let π\pi be a fixed SL(3,Z)SL(3, \mathbb{Z}) Hecke cusp form. We prove a Lindel\"of--consistent upper bound for the second moment ψ(M1)ψ(1)=(1)k\sidesethfHk(M1M2,ψ)L(1/2,π×f)2π,ϵM11+ϵ \mathop{ \sum_{\substack{\psi(M_1) \\ \psi(-1)=(-1)^k }}} \sideset{}{^h}\sum_{f \in H_k^{\star}(M_1M_2,\psi)} |L(1/2, \pi \times f)|^2 \ll_{\pi,\epsilon} M_1^{1+\epsilon} in the range M2M11+ϵM_2\leq M_1^{1+\epsilon}.
