We prove a prime number theorem first for the classical Rankin-Selberg L-function $L(s,\pi\times\pi')$ over any Galois extension with $\pi$ and $\pi'$ unitary automorphic cuspidal representations of $GL_n$ and $GL_m$ respectively with at…

Let $f$ be a newform, and let $\chi$ be a primitive character of conductor $q^{\ell}$. Assume that $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we prove the subconvex bound $$ L(\t1/2,\Sym f\otimes\chi)\ll_{f,q,\varepsilon}…

Let $S_2^*(q)$ be the set of primitive Hecke eigenforms of weight 2 and prime level $q$. For $p$ prime and $t\in \mathbb{R}$, we prove asymptotic formulas for the sums $$ \mathcal {A}(p^j,q,t)=\sum_{f\in S_2^*(q)}…

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…

Let f be a classical holomorphic newform of level q and even weight k. We show that the pushforward to the full level modular curve of the mass of f equidistributes as qk -> infinity. This generalizes known results in the case that q is…

We obtain nonvanishing estimates for central values of certain self-dual Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions on $\operatorname{GL}_2({\bf{A}}_F) \times \operatorname{GL}_2({\bf{A}}_F)$, and more generally $\operatorname{GL}_r({\bf{A}}_F) \times…

We revisit Munshi's proof of the $t$-aspect subconvex bound for $\rm GL(3)$ $L$-functions, and we are able to remove the `conductor lowering' trick. This simplification along with a more careful stationary phase analysis allows us to…

Let $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form and $\chi$ a primitive Dirichlet character of prime power conductor $\mathfrak{q}=p^k$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we will prove the following subconvexity bound $$…

Let $\phi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\mathrm{SL(3, \mathbb{Z})}$ with Langlands parameters $({\bf t}_{i})_{i=1}^{3}$ and $f$ be a holomorphic or Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\mathrm{SL(2,\mathbb{Z})}$. In this article, we prove the…

Let $(\lambda_f(n))_{n\geq 1}$ be the Hecke eigenvalues of either a holomorphic Hecke eigencuspform or a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$. We prove that, for any fixed $\eta>0$, under the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture for $\rm GL_2$ Maass forms,…

In this paper, we solve the Rankin--Selberg problem. That is, we break the well known Rankin--Selberg's bound on the error term of the second moment of Fourier coefficients of a $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ cusp form (both holomorphic and Maass), which…

We consider the Rankin-Selberg L-functions associated with a fixed modular form of full level and holomorphic cuspidal newforms of large even weight, fixed level and fixed primitive nebentypus. We compute the second moment of this family in…

Fix an integer $\kappa\geqslant 2$. Let $P$ be prime and let $k> \kappa$ be an even integer. For $f$ a holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ and full level and $g$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight $2 \kappa$ and level $P$, we prove…

In this paper we further study the relationship between convexity and additive growth, building on the work of Schoen and Shkredov (\cite{SS}) to get some improvements to earlier results of Elekes, Nathanson and Ruzsa (\cite{ENR}). In…

The Rankin-Selberg method for studying Langlands' automorphic $L$-functions is to find integral representations, involving certain Fourier coefficients of cusp forms and Eisenstein series, for these functions. In this thesis we develop the…

We prove an exact formula for the second moment of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(1/2,f \times g)$ twisted by $\lambda_f(p)$, where $g$ is a fixed holomorphic cusp form and $f$ is summed over automorphic forms of a given level $q$. The…

Let $f\in S_k(N,\psi)$ be a newform, and let $\chi$ be a primitive character of conductor $q^{\ell}$. Assume that $q$ is a prime and $\ell>1$. In this paper we describe a method to establish convexity breaking bounds of the form $$…

A well-known principle states that a congruence between objects should give rise to a corresponding congruence between the special values of $L$-functions attached to these objects. We computationally investigate this principle for…
