We describe a general method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for many classes of $L$-functions. This has applications to a conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak for the mass equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms (see arxiv.org:math/0809.1636).

We calculate the one-level density of thin subfamilies of a family of Hecke cuspforms formed by twisting the forms in a smaller family by a character. The result gives support up to 1, conditional on GRH, and we also find several of the…

Let $\phi$ and $\phi'$ be two $\textrm{GL}(3)$ Hecke--Maass cusp forms. In this paper, we prove that $\phi=\phi'\textrm{ or }\widetilde{\phi'}$ if there exists a nonzero constant $\kappa$ such that $$L(\frac{1}{2},\phi\otimes…

We establish a Weyl-type subconvexity of $L(\tfrac{1}{2},f)$ for spherical Hilbert newforms $f$ with level ideal $\mathfrak{N}^2$, in which $\mathfrak{N}$ is required to be cube-free, and at any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ with…

We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of modular $L$-functions to a fixed modulus as well as quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our results are then used to establish bounds for…

We establish the first moment bound $$ \sum_{\varphi} L(\varphi \otimes \varphi \otimes \Psi, \tfrac{1}{2}) \ll_{\varepsilon} p^{5/4+\varepsilon} $$ for triple product $L$-functions, where $\Psi$ is a fixed Hecke-Maass form on…

We investigate the mean value of the twisted second moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi\ primitive\ cubic\\…

We establish sharp lower bounds for the $2k$-th moment in the range $k \geq 1/2$ of the family of quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions at the central point.

For a fixed SL(3, Z) Maass form g, we consider the family of L-functions L(g \times u_j, s) where u_j runs over the family of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on SL(2,Z). We obtain an estimate for the second moment of this family of L-functions at…

Fix a Hecke cusp form $f$, and consider the $L$-function of $f$ twisted by a primitive Dirichlet character. As we range over all primitive characters of a large modulus $q$, what is the average behavior of the square of the central value of…

We derive a family of approximations for L-functions of Hecke cusp eigenforms, according to a recipe first described by Matiyasevich for the Riemann xi function. We show that these approximations converge to the true L-function and point…

We generalize our previous method on subconvexity problem for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$ with cuspidal representations to Eisenstein series, and deduce a Burgess-like subconvex bound for Hecke characters, i.e., the bound…

For $M_1$ and $ M_2$ two distinct primes, let $ H_k^\star(M_1M_2, \psi)$ denote the set of primitive newforms of level $M_1M_2$, weight $k\geq 3$ and Nebentypus $\psi$ of conductor $M_1$. Let $\pi$ be a fixed $SL(3, \mathbb{Z})$ Hecke cusp…

We give an upper bound for the error term in the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula for the partition function. The main input is a new hybrid subconvexity bound for the central value $L(\tfrac 12,f\times (\tfrac{q}{\cdot}))$ in the $q$ and…

In this article, we will prove subconvex bounds for $GL(3) \times GL(2)$ $L$-functions in the depth aspect.

We give lower bounds of the conjectured order of magnitude for an orthogonal and a symplectic family of L-functions.

Let $f$ be a normalized holomorphic cusp form for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k$ with $k\equiv0\bmod 4$. By the Kuznetsov trace formula for $GL_3(\mathbb R)$, we obtain the first moment of central values of $L(s,f\otimes \phi)$, where…

We prove an asymptotic formula with a power saving error term for the (pure or mixed) second moment of central values of L-functions of any two (possibly equal) fixed cusp forms f, g twisted by all primitive characters modulo q, valid for…

Let $\pi$ be a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues $\lambda_{\pi}(n,r)$. Let $f$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues…

Simple upper and lower bounds are established for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\beta t}t^\nu \mathbf{L}_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, where $x>0$, $\nu>-1$, $0<\beta<1$ and $\mathbf{L}_\nu(x)$ is the modified Struve function of the first…
