On the second integral moment of $L$-functions
Liangxun Li
Abstract
Assume that the generalized Ramanujan conjecture holds on the automorphic $L$-function $L(s, π)$ on $GL_d$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $d\geq 3$, we can obtain a small log-saving non-trivial bound on the second integral moment of $L(1/2+it, π)$. Specifically the bound \[ \int_{T}^{2T}\Big|L(\frac{1}{2}+it, π)\Big|^2 d t\ll_π \frac{T^{\frac{d}{2}}}{\log^{η_d}T} \] holds for a small constant $η_d>0$. As an application, we give a new asymptotic formula for the average of the coefficient $λ_{1\boxplus π}(n)$.
