Abstract

Let ff be a Petersson normalized Hecke-Maass cusp form with spectral parameter t2t\geq 2 and let CD\mathcal{C}_{D} be the union of closed geodesics in Sl2(Z)H\text{Sl}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})\setminus \mathbb{H} associated to a fundamental discriminant D>0D>0. Following a suggestion by Sarnak in his letter to Reznikov, we express the restriction norm fCD22||f|_{\mathcal{C}_{D}}||_{2}^{2} as a weighted sum of central values of L-functions using Waldspurger's formula. This allows us to get an unconditional improvement over the current bounds.
