Let f be a newform of prime level p with any central character χ (\bmod p), and let g be a fixed cusp form or Eisenstein series for \hboxSL2(ℤ). We prove the subconvexity bound: for any ε>0, L(1/2, f ⊗ g) ≪ p1/2-1/524+ε, where the implied constant depends on g, ε, and the archimedean parameter of f. This improves upon the previously best-known result by Harcos and Michel. Our method ultimately relies on non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms in Kloosterman fractions pioneered by Duke, Friedlander, and Iwaniec, with later innovations by Bettin and Chandee.
