Abstract

We study extreme values of Dirichlet polynomials with multiplicative coefficients, namely DN(t):=Df,N(t)=1NnNf(n)nit,D_N(t) : = D_{f,\, N}(t)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leqslant N} f(n) n^{it}, where ff is a completely multiplicative function with f(n)=1|f(n)|=1 for all nNn\in\mathbb{N}. We use Soundararajan's resonance method to produce large values of DN(t)\left|D_N(t)\right| uniformly for all such ff. In particular, we improve a recent result of Benatar and Nishry, where they establish weaker lower bounds and only for almost all such ff.
