Mixed moment of $GL(2)$ and $GL(3)$ $L$-functions (1811.03553v1)

Abstract: Let $ \mathfrak{f} $ run over the space $ H_{4k} $ of primitive cusp forms of level one and weight $ 4k $, $ k \in N $. We prove an explicit formula for the mixed moment of the Hecke $ L $-function $ L(\mathfrak{f}, 1/2) $ and the symmetric square $L$-function $ L(sym^2\mathfrak{f}, 1/2)$, relating it to the dual mixed moment of the double Dirichlet series and the Riemann zeta function weighted by the ${}3F{2}$ hypergeometric function. Analysing the corresponding special functions by the means of the Liouville-Green approximation followed by the saddle point method, we prove that the initial mixed moment is bounded by $\log^3k$.
