### On the average of central values of symmetric square $L$-functions in weight aspect

#### Abstract

It is proved that the central values of symmetric square $L$-functions of normalized Hecke eigenforms for the full modular group on average satisfy an analogue of the Lindelöf hypothesis in weight aspect, under the assumption that these values are non-negative.
