Abstract

Let FF be a Hecke-Maa\ss\ cusp form for SL(3,Z)\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z}). We obtain the first non-trivial upper bound of the second moment of L(F,s)L(F,s) in tt-aspect: T2TL(F,1/2+it)2dtF,εT3/23/32+ε.\int_{T}^{2T}|L(F,1/2+it)|^2 dt\ll_{F,\varepsilon} T^{3/2-3/32+\varepsilon}. Immediate corollaries include improvements over the existing results on the subconvexity bound for self-dual GL(3)\mathrm{GL}(3) LL-functions in the tt-aspect and for self-dual GL(3)×GL(2)\mathrm{GL}(3)\times \mathrm{GL}(2) LL-functions in the GL(2)\mathrm{GL}(2) spectral aspect, the error term in the Rankin-Selberg problem, and the zero density estimate for GL(3)\mathrm{GL}(3) LL-functions.
