Large character sums with multiplicative coefficients

Number Theory 2025-09-12 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients nNf(n)χ(n)\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n). We prove a new Omega result in the region exp((logq)12+δ)Nq\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\delta})\le N\le\sqrt q, where qq is the prime modulus.
