In the paper we obtain new estimates for binary and ternary sums of multiplicative characters with additive convolutions of characteristic functions of sets, having small additive doubling. In particular, we improve a result of M.-C. Chang.…

We establish a new bound for short character sums in finite fields, particularly over two-dimensional grids in $\mathbb{F}_{p^3}$ and higher-dimensional lattices in $\mathbb{F}_{p^d}$, extending an earlier work of Mei-Chu Chang on Burgess…

We obtain explicit bounds on the moments of character sums, refining estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan. As an application we obtain results on the distribution of the maximal magnitude of character sums normalized by the square root of…

We study large values of quadratic character sums with summation lengths exceeding the square root of the modulus. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain a new Omega result.

We consider sums of the form $$F_\chi(\alpha,\beta;\theta) := \sum_{\alpha p<n\le\beta p}\chi(n)e(n\theta),$$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime number $p$. We prove that $$ \sqrt p \log \log p \ll \max_{0…

We give an upper bound on character sums of the resultant over pairs of monic square-free polynomials of given degrees, answering a question of Ellenberg and Shusterman in the quadratic case. Our approach is topological: we compute the…

We prove character sum estimates for additive Bohr subsets modulo a prime. These estimates are analogous to classical character sum bounds of Polya-Vinogradov and Burgess. These estimates are applied to obtain results on recurrence mod $p$…

A classical result of Paley shows that there are infinitely many quadratic characters $\chi\mod{q}$ whose character sums get as large as $\sqrt{q}\log \log q$; this implies that a conditional upper bound of Montgomery and Vaughan cannot be…

We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…

In this work we establish a Burgess bound for short multiplicative character sums in arbitrary dimensions, in which the character is evaluated at a homogeneous form that belongs to a very general class of "admissible" forms. This…

A few elementary estimates of a basic character sum over the prime numbers are derived here. These estimates are nontrivial for character sums modulo large q. In addition, an omega result for character sums over the primes is also included.

We prove new bounds for sums of multiplicative characters over sums of set with small doubling and applying this result we break the square--root barrier in a problem of Balog concerning products of differences in a field of prime order.

We provide estimates for sums of the form \[\left|\sum_{a\in A}\sum_{b\in B}\sum_{c\in C}\chi(a+b+c)\right|\] and \[\left|\sum_{a\in A}\sum_{b\in B}\sum_{c\in C}\sum_{d\in D}\chi(a+b+cd)\right|\] when $A,B,C,D\subset \mathbb F_p$, the field…
