Explicit Improvements to the Burgess Bound Via P\'olya-Vinogradov

Number Theory 2020-07-17 v1

Abstract

We make explicit a theorem of Fromm and Goldmakher [arXiv:1706.03002], which states that one can improve Burgess' bound for short character sums simply by improving the leading constant in the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality. Towards achieving this, we establish explicit versions of several estimates related to the mean values of real multiplicative functions and the Dickman function.
