On Hasse's inequality (Q6173831)

The author gives an elementary exposition of a little known 1932 work of \textit{H. Davenport} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 7, 117--121 (1932; Zbl 0004.20101)] related to Hasse's inequality. He also discusses the implications of Davenport's method to the classical Riemann hypothesis that leads to an interesting link to a conjecture of Chowla (see section 5 for a discussion).
