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.
In this article, we study extreme values of quadratic character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n \le N}f(n)\chi_d(n)$. For a positive number $N$ within a suitable range, we employ the resonance method to establish a…
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…
We establish upper bounds for moments of smoothed quadratic Dirichlet character sums under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, confirming a conjecture of M. Jutila.
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the authors study when a character sum over all n <= x is o(x); they show that this holds if log x / log log q -> infinity and q -> infinity (q is the size of the finite field).
We study the conjecture that $\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $\chi \pmod q$ with $x\geq q^\epsilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,\chi)$. We show that it holds under…
We study exponential sums whose coefficients are completely multiplicative and belong to the complex unit disc. Our main result shows that such a sum has substantial cancellation unless the coefficient function is essentially a Dirichlet…
In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet polynomials with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)n^{it}$, where $1\ll t\le T$ for large $T$. We prove an improved Omega result in the region $\exp((\log…
We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…
A classical theorem of Paley asserts the existence of an infinite family of quadratic characters whose character sums become exceptionally large. In this paper, we establish an analogous result for characters of any fixed even order.…
We consider the problem of $\Omega$ bounds for the partial sums of a modified character, \textit{i.e.}, a completely multiplicative function $f$ such that $f(p)=\chi(p)$ for all but a finite number of primes $p$, where $\chi$ is a primitive…
We establish sharp upper bounds for shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our result is then used to prove bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums.
In this article, we investigate the behaviour of values of zeta sums $\sum_{n\le x}n^{it}$ when $t$ is large. We show some asymptotic behaviour and Omega results of zeta sums, which are analogous to previous results of large character sums…
We study upper bounds for sums of Dirichlet characters. We prove a uniform upper bound of the character sum over all proper generalized arithmetic progressions, which generalizes the classical Polya and Vinogradov inequality. Our argument…
