Character sums with Beatty sequences on Burgess-type intervals

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We estimate multiplicative character sums taken on the values of a non-homogeneous Beatty sequence {[αn+β]:n=1,2,...}\{[\alpha n + \beta] : n =1,2,... \}, where α,βR\alpha,\beta\in\R, and α\alpha is irrational. Our bounds are nontrivial over the same short intervals for which the classical character sum estimates of Burgess have been established.
