Abstract

Let Fn\mathfrak{F}_n be the set of all cuspidal automorphic representations π\pi of GLn\mathrm{GL}_n over a number field with unitary central character. We prove two unconditional large sieve inequalities for the Hecke eigenvalues of πFn\pi\in\mathfrak{F}_n, one on the integers and one on the primes. The second leads to the first unconditional zero density estimate for the family of LL-functions L(s,π)L(s,\pi) associated to πFn\pi\in\mathfrak{F}_n, which we make log-free. As an application of the zero density estimate, we prove a hybrid subconvexity bound for L(12,π)L(\frac{1}{2},\pi) for a density one subset of πFn\pi\in\mathfrak{F}_n.
