Randomness of character sums modulo $m$

Number Theory 2011-04-27 v1 Probability

Abstract

Using a probabilistic model, based on random walks on the additive group Z/mZ\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}, we prove that the values of certain real character sums are uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo mm.
