Youness Lamzouri: Large character sums

Abstract : For a non-principal Dirichlet character χ modulo q, the classical Pólya-Vinogradov inequality asserts that M(χ):=maxx|∑n≤xχ(n)|=O(q‾√log q). This was improved to q‾√log log q by Montgomery and Vaughan, assuming the Generalized Riemann hypothesis GRH. For quadratic characters, th
