Heat kernel approach for sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight (Q5964800)

In the article, sup-norm bounds for the space of cusp forms of even or half-integer weight \(k\) and some nebentypus for cofinite Fuchsian groups are studied. More precisely, one considers the asymptotic behaviour for \(k \to \infty\) of the sup-norm of \(\sum y^k |f_i(z)|^2\) where the summation runs over an orthonormal basis of the space of cusp forms with respect to the Petersson scalar product. The methods rely on the use of the heat kernel on complex manifolds developed by \textit{T. Bouche} [in: Higher dimensional complex varieties. Proceedings of the international conference, Trento, Italy, 1994. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter. 67--81 (1996; Zbl 0914.32010)] and provide a new proof of previous results by \textit{J. Jorgenson} and \textit{J. Kramer} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 14, No. 6, 1267--1277 (2004; Zbl 1078.11027)].
