Optimal sup norm bounds for newforms on GL₂ with maximally ramified central character

Abstract: Recently, the problem of bounding the sup norms of

L^{2}

-normalized cuspidal automorphic newforms

p h i

on

e x t {G L}_{2}

in the level aspect has received much attention. However at the moment strong upper bounds are only available if the central character

c h i

of

p h i

is not too highly ramified. In this paper, we establish a uniform upper bound in the level aspect for general

c h i

. If the level

N

is a square, our result reduces to

|phi|_infty ll N^{frac14+epsilon},

at least under the Ramanujan Conjecture. In particular, when

c h i

has conductor

N

, this improves upon the previous best known bound

| p h i |_{i} n f t y l l N^{f r a c 12 + e p s i l o n}

in this setup (due to Saha [14]) and matches a lower bound due to Templier [17], thus our result is essentially optimal in this case.
