Abstract

Assume that \({\pi}\) is a cuspidal automorphic \({{\rm GL}_{2}}\) representation over a number field F. Then for any Hecke character \({\chi}\) of conductor \({\mathfrak{q}}\), the subconvex bound

$$L(1/2,\pi \otimes \chi) \ll_{F,\pi,\chi_{\infty},\varepsilon} \mathcal{N}{\mathfrak{q}}^{3/8+\theta/4+\varepsilon}$$

holds for any \({\varepsilon > 0}\), where \({\theta}\) is any constant towards the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture (\({\theta = 7/64}\) is admissible). In these notes, we derive this bound from the spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums worked out by the author in [21].
