The second moment of Dirichlet twists of a $\textrm{GL}_{4}$ automorphic $L$-function (2110.01783v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we give an asymptotic formula for the second moment of Dirichlet twists of an automorphic $L$-function $L(s, \pi)$ on the critical line averaged over characters and conductors, where $\pi$ denotes an irreducible tempered cuspidal automorphic representation of $\textrm{GL}_{4}$ with unitary central character. We give some hybrid bound for the error term with respect to the size of conductors of Dirichlet characters and that of the automorphic representation.
