“…The above "subconvex" estimates improve upon the respective "trivial" or "convexity" bounds of C(χ) 1/2+ε and C(χ) 1/4+ε , and also upon earlier nontrivial subconvex bounds (see [7,62,61,37] and references). Via period formulas as in [51,15,3] (see also [59,31,56,30,32,32,34]) these estimates lead to improved bounds for the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms over number fields (cf. [7,Cor 1]), hence to improved estimates for representation numbers of ternary quadratic forms over number fields.…”
