Short Second Moment Bound for GL(2) $L$-functions in $q$-Aspect

Number Theory 2025-05-27 v3

Abstract

We prove a Lindel\"{o}f-on-average upper bound for the second moment of the LL-functions associated to a level 1 holomorphic cusp form, twisted along a coset of subgroup of the characters modulo q2/3q^{2/3} (where q=p3q = p^3 for some odd prime pp). This result should be seen as a qq-aspect analogue of Anton Good's (1982) result on upper bounds of the second moment of cusp forms in short intervals. The results generalize easily to higher prime powers as well.
