Uniform bounds on sup-norms of holomorphic forms of real weight (Q2810667)

Supremum norms of holomorphic cusp forms or Maass forms have been investigated in many papers over the years. In this paper, the author obtains uniform bounds for the supremum norms of modular forms for a subgroup of \(\Gamma\) of \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb Z)\) of finite index and determines corresponding bounds for suprema over compact subsets of the complex upper half plane \(\mathbb H\). The proofs are carried out by extending the norm to a sum over an orthonormal basis \(\sum_j y^k |f_j (z)|^2\) and analyzing this sum by using a Bergman kernel and the Fourier coefficients of Poincaré series. Under weaker assumptions he also obtains bounds for \(\sup_{z \in \mathbb H} \sum_j y^k |f_j (z)|^2\). The results are valid without the assumption that the modular forms are Hecke eigenfunctions.
