In this work we establish a Burgess bound for short multiplicative character sums in arbitrary dimensions, in which the character is evaluated at a homogeneous form that belongs to a very general class of "admissible" forms. This…

We use a `trivial' delta method to prove the Weyl bound in $t$-aspect for the $\rm L$-function of a holomorphic or a Hecke-Maass cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus. In particular, this extends the results of Meurman and Jutila for…

We study a double Dirichlet series of the form $\sum_{d}L(s,\chi_{d}\chi)\chi'(d)d^{-w}$, where $\chi$ and $\chi'$ are quadratic Dirichlet characters with prime conductors $N$ and $M$ respectively. A functional equation group isomorphic to…

We establish Burgess-type bounds for short multiplicative character sums over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ under a purely volumetric condition. We show that for a box $B \subset \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, nontrivial cancellation occurs whenever…

Let f be a cusp form for the group SL(3, Z) with Langlands parameter mu and associated L-function L(s, f). If mu is in generic position, i.e. away from the Weyl chamber walls and away from the self-dual forms, we prove the subconvexity…

Let $F$ be a $G L(3)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form of prime level $P_1$ and let $f$ be a $G L(2)$ Hecke-Maass cuspform of prime level $P_2$. In this article, we will prove a subconvex bound for the $G L(3) \times G L(2)$ Rankin-Selberg…

\begin{abstract} In this article, we will get non-trivial estimates for the central values of degree six Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(1/2+it, \pi \times f)$ associated with a ${GL(3)}$ form $\pi$ and a ${GL(2)} $ form $f$ using the delta…

We estimate double sums $$ S_\chi(a, I, G) = \sum_{x \in I} \sum_{\lambda \in G} \chi(x + a\lambda), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ with a multiplicative character $\chi$ modulo $p$ where $I= \{1,\ldots, H\}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of order $T$ of…

In this paper, we prove hybrid subconvexity bounds for $\rm GL_2\times \rm GL_2$ Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions twisted by a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo a prime power, in the $t$ and depth aspects.

Let $f$ be a Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with Laplace eigenvalue $1/4+\mu_f^2$, $\mu_f>0$. Let $g$ be an arbitrary but fixed holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$. In this paper, we establish the following…

In this paper, we introduce a simple Bessel $\delta$-method to the theory of exponential sums for $\rm GL_2$. Some results of Jutila on exponential sums are generalized in a less technical manner to holomorphic newforms of arbitrary level…

Burgess proved that for $\chi_q$ a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ with $q$ cubefree, $\Big|\sum_{M< n\le M+N}\chi_q(n)\Big| \ll N^{1-\frac{1}{r}}q^{\frac{r+1}{4r^2}+\epsilon}$ for all integers $r\ge1.$ More recently, explicit…

We prove a Weyl-exponent subconvex bound for any Dirichlet $L$-function of cube-free conductor. We also show a bound of the same strength for certain $L$-functions of self-dual $\mathrm{GL}_2$ automorphic forms that arise as twists of forms…

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…

In this paper we obtain a sub-Weyl bound for $L(1/2+it,f)$ for $f$ a Hecke modular form.

We prove an upper bound for the twelfth moment of Hecke $L$-functions associated to holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of weight $k$ in a dyadic interval $T \leq k \leq 2T$ as $T$ tends to infinity. This bound recovers the Weyl-strength subconvex…

Fix $g$ a self-dual Hecke-Maass form for $SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$. Let $f$ be a holomorphic newform of prime level $q$ and fixed weight. Conditional on a lower bound for a short sum of squares of Fourier coefficients of $f$, we prove a…

We use the Burgess bound and Selberg sieve to obtain an upper bound on the second moment of sums over an interval $[u+1,u+h]$ of Legendre symbols modulo primes $p$ in a dyadic interval $[Q,2Q]$. The bound is nontrivial and gives a power…

We prove a subconvexity bound in the conductor aspect for $L(s,f,\chi)$ where $f$ is a half integer weight modular form. This $L$-function has analytic continuation and functional equation, but no Euler product. Due to the lack of an Euler…

This work proves a Burgess bound for short mixed character sums in $n$ dimensions. The non-principal multiplicative character of prime conductor $q$ may be evaluated at any "admissible" form, and the additive character may be evaluated at…
