Weak subconvexity without a Ramanujan hypothesis

Number Theory 2019-05-29 v2

Abstract

We describe a new method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for LL-functions with mild hypotheses on the size of the Dirichlet coefficients. We verify these hypotheses for all automorphic LL-functions and (with mild restrictions) the Rankin-Selberg LL-functions attached to two automorphic representations. The proof relies on a new unconditional log-free zero density estimate for Rankin-Selberg LL-functions.
