Abstract

Let ΓPSL2(R)\Gamma\subseteq\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R}) be a Fuchsian subgroup of the first kind acting on the upper half-plane H\mathbb{H}. Consider the dd-dimensional space of cusp forms SkΓ\mathcal{S}_{k}^{\Gamma} of weight 2k2k for Γ\Gamma, and let {f1,,fd}\{f_{1},\ldots,f_{d}\} be an orthonormal basis of SkΓ\mathcal{S}_{k}^{\Gamma} with respect to the Petersson inner product. In this paper we show that the sup-norm of the quantity SkΓ(z):=j=1dfj(z)2Im(z)2kS_{k}^{\Gamma}(z):=\sum_{j=1}^{d}| f_{j}(z)|^{2}\,\mathrm{Im}(z)^{2k} is bounded as OΓ(k)O_{\Gamma}(k) in the cocompact setting, and as OΓ(k3/2)O_{\Gamma}(k^{3/2}) in the cofinite case, where the implied constants depend solely on Γ\Gamma. We also show that the implied constants are uniform if Γ\Gamma is replaced by a subgroup of finite index.
