Weyl-type hybrid subconvexity bounds for twisted \(L\)-functions and Heegner points on shrinking sets (Q2628340)

Summary: Let \(q\) be odd and squarefree, and let \(\chi_q\) be the quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor \(q\). Let \(u_j\) be a Hecke-Maass cusp form on \(\Gamma_0(q)\) with spectral parameter \(t_j\). By an extension of work of \textit{J. B. Conrey} and \textit{H. Iwaniec} [Ann. Math. (2) 151, No. 3, 1175--1216 (2000; Zbl 0973.11056)], we show \(L(u_j \times \chi_q, 1/2) \ll_{\varepsilon} (q (1 + |t_j|))^{1/3 + \varepsilon}\), uniformly in both \(q\) and \(t_j\). A similar bound holds for twists of a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of large weight \(k\). Furthermore, we show that \(|L(1/2+it, \chi_q)| \ll_{\varepsilon} ((1 + |t|) q)^{1/6 + \varepsilon}\), improving on a result of \textit{D. R. Heath-Brown} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 31, 157--167 (1980; Zbl 0396.10030)]. As a consequence of these new bounds, we obtain explicit estimates for the number of Heegner points of large odd discriminant in shrinking sets.
