Average values of symmetric square $L$-functions at the edge of the critical strip (Q4787491)

Let \(B_2^*(N)\) be the set of normalized newforms of weight 2 and level \(N\), and let \(L(\text{sym}^2f,s)\) be the symmetric square \(L\)-function associated to \(f\in B_2^*(N)\). In [C. R. Math. Acad. Sci., Soc. R. Can. 22, No. 3, 97--104 (2000; Zbl 1027.11033)] \textit{A. Akbary} proved that for \(N\) prime, and any real number \(t\), there exists a \(B>0\) such that \[ \sum_{f\in B^*_2(N)} L(\text{sym}^2 f, 1+it)= \zeta(2+it)\zeta_N(2+2it)\frac{N}{12}+ O\left( \frac{N^{45/46}(\log{N})^B}{{| \Gamma(\frac{2+it}{2})| }^2 | \Gamma(\frac{3+it}{2})| }\right). \] In the present paper, the author shows that for \(t=0\) one can improve the power of \(N\) in the error term of the above asymptotic formula from \(45/46\) to \(27/28\).
