Abstract

We construct a new analytic regularization of the Petersson norm identity for Eisenstein series on GL2\mathrm{GL}_2 over a number field FF, and derive from it an explicit symmetric spectral reciprocity formula for twisted fourth moments of GL2\mathrm{GL}_2 LL-functions, reflecting the intrinsic rank decomposition 4=2+24=2+2. Independently, we identify a square-level phenomenon arising from amplification, whereby the dual spectral family acquires square-level conductors. This additional arithmetic rigidity permits a refined analysis within the relative trace formula and leads to refined hybrid subconvexity bounds for twisted LL-functions. As a consequence, we obtain new uniform subconvexity bounds for GL2/F\mathrm{GL}_2/F; in particular, \begin{align*} L(1/2,\pi)\ll C(\pi)^{\frac14-\frac{1}{120}+\varepsilon} \end{align*} for every unitary cuspidal representation π\pi of GL2/F\mathrm{GL}_2/F. We also obtain refined bounds for certain Artin LL-functions and applications to class group arithmetic.
