Explicit Burgess-like subconvex bounds for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$

Abstract

We make the polynomial dependence on the fixed representation $\pi$ in our previous subconvex bound of $L(1/2,\pi \otimes \chi)$ for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$ explicit, especially with respect to the usual conductor $\mathbf{C}(\pi_{\mathrm{fin}})$. There is no clue that the original choice, due to Michel & Venkatesh, of the test function at the infinite places should be the optimal one. Hence we also investigate a possible variant of such local choices in some special situations.
