Omega theorems for a class of \(L\)-functions. (A note on the Rankin-Selberg zeta-function) (Q2466277)

In the paper, the Omega theorems for a class of general \(L\)-functions satisfying certain conditions are proved. As an important application, the authors obtained the \(\Omega\) theorems for the Rankin-Selberg zeta-functions \(Z(s_0)\), \(s=\sigma+it\), attached to holomorphic cusp forms of the fixed weight for the full modular group when \(\frac{1}{2} \leq \sigma_0<1\). The result follows: for sufficiently large \(T\geq T_0>0\), \[ \text{Re}\, \bigg(e^{-i\theta} \log Z(\sigma_0+it_0)\bigg) \geq (1-\sigma_0)^{-1}C_0C_1(\log t_0)^{1-\sigma_0}(\log\log t_0)^{-\sigma_0} \] for at least one \(t_0\) satisfying \(T^\epsilon \leq t_0\leq T\) where \(C_0=\cos\big(2 \pi / l\big)\big(\delta / \log l\big)^{1-\sigma_0}\), and small constant \(\epsilon >0\). Here \(0 \leq \theta < 2 \pi\), \(y\) is a positive solution of the equation \(e^y=2y+1\), \(l\) is an integer \(\geq 6\), \(C_2=2y/ (2y+1)^2\), \(0<C_1<C_2\); \(\delta=1\) if it is assumed the Riemann hypothesis for \(Z(s)\), and if it is assumed that \(2/3<\sigma_0<1\) then \(\delta=1-5(1-\sigma_0)/(3-2\sigma_0)\).
