The folklore sup-norm conjecture for newforms with mildly ramified central character

About 12 years old · traced to

Let ff be a newform on GL⁡2(AQ)\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}) with level MM and conductor NN, and let N1N_1 be the smallest integer such that N∣N12N\mid N_1^2. Assume that M∣N1M\mid N_1. The folklore sup-norm conjecture. One has

∥f∥∞∥f∥2≪λ/k,εNε.\frac{\|f\|_\infty}{\|f\|_2} \ll_{\lambda/k,\varepsilon} N^{\varepsilon}.

This conjecture asserts the expected essentially optimal sup-norm bound when the central character is not too highly ramified; the paper explains that it would follow from the absence of global obstructions beyond local ones, together with the local conjecture stated below.
