Conditional upper bounds on the least character non-residue

Number Theory 2026-03-17 v2

Abstract

We extend known methods to establish upper bounds on the least character non-residues contingent on different zero-free regions within the critical strip, in particular on bounded rectangles within the critical strip along the σ=1\sigma=1 line at arbitrary heights. This relates to earlier conditional results on least character non-residues, and recent results of Granville and Soundararajan on character sums.
