W\lowercase{eyl} \lowercase {bound for $p$-power twist of} $GL(2)$ L-\lowercase{functions }

TL;DR

This paper establishes new bounds for the central values of twisted $GL(2)$ L-functions with $p$-power and factorizable characters, improving understanding of their growth and distribution.

Contribution

It provides novel bounds for $L$-functions twisted by specific characters, extending previous results to new cases with $p$-power moduli and factorizable characters.

Findings

Bound for $L$-functions with $p^r$ modulus when $r$ divisible by 3: $P^{1/3 + ext{epsilon}}$

Burgess-type bound for factorizable characters: $P^{3/8 + ext{epsilon}}$

Results improve understanding of $L$-function growth for special character moduli.

Abstract

Let $f$ be a cuspidal eigenform (holomorphic or Maass) on the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$ . Let $\chi$ be a primitive character of modulus $P$. We shall prove the following results: 1. Suppose $P = p^r$, where $p$ is a prime and $r\equiv 0 (\textrm{mod} \ 3)$. Then we have \[ L\left( f \otimes \chi, \frac{1}{2}\right) \ll_{f, \epsilon} P^{1/3 +\epsilon}, \] where $\epsilon > 0$ is any positive real number. 2. Suppose $\chi$ factorizes as $\chi= \chi_1 \chi_2$, where $ \chi_i$'s are primitive character modulo $P_i$, where $P_i$ are primes, $P^{1/2 -\epsilon} \ll P_i \ll P^{1/2 + \epsilon}$ for $i=1,2$ and $P=P_1 P_2$. We have the Burgess bound \[ L\left( f \otimes \chi, \frac{1}{2}\right) \ll_{f, \epsilon} P^{3/8 +\epsilon}, \] where $\epsilon > 0$ is any positive real number.
