The subconvexity problem for GL2
Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS, Tome 111 (2010), pp. 171-271

Generalizing and unifying prior results, we solve the subconvexity problem for the L-functions of GL 1 and GL 2 automorphic representations over a fixed number field, uniformly in all aspects. A novel feature of the present method is the softness of our arguments; this is largely due to a consistent use of canonically normalized period relations, such as those supplied by the work of Waldspurger and Ichino–Ikeda.
