The shifted fourth moment of automorphic L-functions of prime power level

Abstract

We prove the asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of automorphic $L$-functions of level $p^{\nu }$, where $p$ is a fixed prime number and $\nu \to \infty$. This paper is a continuation of work by Rouymi, who computed asymptotics of the first three moments at prime power level, and a generalization of results obtained for prime level by Duke, Friedlander & Iwaniec and Kowalski, Michel & Vanderkam.
