Event description: 

For a general L-function, the bound on its critical line obtained by
applying the Phragmen-Lindeloff interpolation method is called the convexity
bound. Any bounds with a power saving of the convexity bound are
called subconvexity bounds. In this talk we will give the first subconvexity
bounds for GL(3) L-functions as well as for GL(3) × GL(2) L-functions.
Our methods also recover the subconvexity bounds for GL(2) L-functions
in the eigenvalue aspect .
