Analytic properties of spherical cusp forms on \(\mathrm{GL}(n)\) (Q2177499)

Let \(\phi\) be an \(L^2\)-normalized spherical vector in an everywhere unramified cuspidal automorphic representation of \(\operatorname{PGL}_n\) over \(\mathbb Q\) with Laplace eigenvalue \(\lambda_\phi\). The paper establishes explicit estimates for various quantities related to \(\phi\) that are -- interestingly -- uniform in \(\lambda_\phi\). This includes uniform bounds for spherical Whittaker functions on \(\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)\), uniform bounds for the global sup-norm of \(\phi\), and uniform bounds for the ``essential support'' of \(\phi\), i.e., the region outside which it decays exponentially. The proofs combine analytic and arithmetic tools.
