We prove log-free zero density estimates for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of the form $L(s,\\pi\\times\\pi_0)$, where $\\pi$ varies in a given family and $\\pi_0$ is fixed. These estimates are unconditional in many cases of interest; they hold in full generality assuming an average form of the generalized Ramanujan conjecture. We consider applications of these estimates related to mass equidistribution for Hecke-Maass forms, the rarity of Landau-Siegel zeros of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions, the Chebotarev density theorem, and $\\ell$-torsion in class groups of number fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-04-17T17:59:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical strip", "rankin-selberg", "log-free zero density estimates", "unitary cuspidal automorphic representations", "chebotarev density theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
