A spectral universality theorem for Maass $L$-functions

Number Theory 2019-10-01 v2

Abstract

We show that for a positive proportion of Laplace eigenvalues λj\lambda_j the associated Hecke-Maass LL-functions L(s,uj)L(s,u_j) approximate with arbitrary precision any target function f(s)f(s) on a closed disc with center in 3/43/4 and radius r<1/4r<1/4. The main ingredients in the proof are the spectral large sieve of Deshouillers-Iwaniec and Sarnak's equidistribution theorem for Hecke eigenvalues.
