Hybrid Bounds on Twisted L-Functions Associated to Modular Forms

Abstract

For $f$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form of even weight $k\ge 4$, level $N$, and $\chi$ a Dirichlet character mod $Q$ with $(Q,N)=1$, we establish a new hybrid subconvexity bound for $L(1/2+it,f_{\chi })$, which improves upon all known hybrid bounds. This is done via amplification and taking advantage of a shifted convolution sum of two variables defined and analyzed in a recent paper of Hoffstein and Hulse.
