The cubic moment of central $L$-values in the weight aspect
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 38 (2026) no. 2, pp. 533-556

Motivated by the list of problems for moments of $L$-functions due to Hamieh et al. [7], we prove an asymptotic formula for the cubic moment of central $L$-values associated to holomorphic cusp forms of level one, where the weights $k$ lie in a short interval $K-\Delta <k<K+\Delta $ with $K^\varepsilon \le \Delta \le K^{1-\varepsilon }$, as $K\rightarrow \infty $.

Motivés par la liste des problèmes concernant les moments des fonctions $L$ établie par Hamieh et al. [7], nous démontrons une formule asymptotique pour le moment cubique des valeurs centrales des fonctions $L$ associées aux formes modulaires paraboliques holomorphes de niveau un, où les poids $k$ varient dans un court intervalle $K-\Delta <k<K+\Delta $ avec $K^\varepsilon \le \Delta \le K^{1-\varepsilon }$, lorsque $K \rightarrow \infty $.
