In this paper we prove a hybrid subconvexity bound for class group $L$-functions associated to a quadratic extension $K/mathbb{Q}$ (real or imaginary). Our proof relies on relating the class group $L$-functions to Eisenstein series evaluated at Heegner points using formulas due to Hecke. The main technical contribution is the following uniform sup norm bound for Eisenstein series $E(z,1/2+it)ll_varepsilon y^{1/2} (|t|+1)^{1/3+varepsilon}, ygg 1$, extending work of Blomer and Titchmarsh. Finally, we propose a uniform version of the sup norm conjecture for Eisenstein series.
We establish sharp bounds for the second moment of symmetric-square $L$-functions attached to Hecke Maass cusp forms $u_j$ with spectral parameter $t_j$, where the second moment is a sum over $t_j$ in a short interval. At the central point $s=1/2$ of the $L$-function, our interval is smaller than previous known results. More specifically, for $|t_j|$ of size $T$, our interval is of size $T^{1/5}$, while the previous best was $T^{1/3}$ from work of Lam. A little higher up on the critical line, our second moment yields a subconvexity bound for the symmetric-square $L$-function. More specifically, we get subconvexity at $s=1/2+it$ provided $|t_j|^{6/7+delta}le |t| le (2-delta)|t_j|$ for any fixed $delta>0$. Since $|t|$ can be taken significantly smaller than $|t_j|$, this may be viewed as an approximation to the notorious subconvexity problem for the symmetric-square $L$-function in the spectral aspect at $s=1/2$.
Let $f $ be a holomorphic Hecke eigenforms or a Hecke-Maass cusp form for the full modular group $ SL(2, mathbb{Z})$. In this paper we shall use circle method to prove the Weyl exponent for $GL(2)$ $L$-functions. We shall prove that [ L left( frac{1}{2} + it right) ll_{f, epsilon} left( 1 + |t|right)^{1/3 + epsilon}, ] for any $epsilon > 0.$

We provide an introduction to the theory of Eisenstein series and automorphic forms on real simple Lie groups G, emphasising the role of representation theory. It is useful to take a slightly wider view and define all objects over the (rational) adeles A, thereby also paving the way for connections to number theory, representation theory and the Langlands program. Most of the results we present are already scattered throughout the mathematics literature but our exposition collects them together and is driven by examples. Many interesting aspects of these functions are hidden in their Fourier coefficients with respect to unipotent subgroups and a large part of our focus is to explain and derive general theorems on these Fourier expansions. Specifically, we give complete proofs of the Langlands constant term formula for Eisenstein series on adelic groups G(A) as well as the Casselman--Shalika formula for the p-adic spherical Whittaker function associated to unramified automorphic representations of G(Q_p). In addition, we explain how the classical theory of Hecke operators fits into the modern theory of automorphic representations of adelic groups, thereby providing a connection with some key elements in the Langlands program, such as the Langlands dual group LG and automorphic L-functions. Somewhat surprisingly, all these results have natural interpretations as encoding physical effects in string theory. We therefore also introduce some basic concepts of string theory, aimed toward mathematicians, emphasising the role of automorphic forms. In particular, we provide a detailed treatment of supersymmetry constraints on string amplitudes which enforce differential equations of the same type that are satisfied by automorphic forms. Our treatise concludes with a detailed list of interesting open questions and pointers to additional topics which go beyond the scope of this book.
