Abstract

Let F be an \(L^2\)-normalized Hecke Maaß cusp form for \(\Gamma _0(N) \subseteq {\mathrm{SL}}_{n}({\mathbb {Z}})\) with Laplace eigenvalue \(\lambda _F\). If \(\Omega \) is a compact subset of \(\Gamma _0(N)\backslash {\mathrm{PGL}}_n/\mathrm{PO}_{n}\), we show the bound \(\Vert F|_{\Omega }\Vert _{\infty } \ll _{ \Omega } N^{\varepsilon } \lambda _F^{n(n-1)/8 - \delta }\) for some constant \(\delta = \delta _n> 0\) depending only on n.

Notes

  1. We remark that in [4, (3.9)] and similar displays \(\mathbf c (\mu )\) should be replaced with \(D(\mu )^{-1/2}\).

  2. In [4] the set \({\mathcal {P}}\) was the set of all primes, but the argument works verbatim for any set of primes.

  3. The empty intersection is just \({\text {Sym}}_n\).
