Abstract

Let NN be a prime and ϕ\phi be a Hecke-Maass cuspidal newform for the Hecke congruence subgroup Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N) in SLn(R)\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{R}). Let Ω\Omega be an adelic compactum and let ΩN\Omega_N be its projection to Γ0(N)\SLn(R)/SO(n)\Gamma_0(N) \backslash \operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{R}) / \operatorname{SO}(n). For any prime nn, we prove sub-baseline bounds for the sup-norm of ϕ\phi restricted to ΩN\Omega_N. Conditionally on GRH, we generalise this result to all n2n \geq 2. The methods involve a new reduction theory with level structure, based on generalisations of Atkin-Lehner operators.
