The fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions along a coset and the Weyl bound

Abstract

We prove a Lindel\"of-on-average upper bound for the fourth moment of Dirichlet LL-functions of conductor qq along a coset of the subgroup of characters modulo dd when qdq^*|d, where qq^* is the least positive integer such that q2(q)3q^2|(q^*)^3. As a consequence, we finish the previous work of the authors and establish a Weyl-strength subconvex bound for all Dirichlet LL-functions with no restrictions on the conductor.
