Distribution of integers with specified multiplicative constraints (11N25) Estimates on character sums (11L40)

Abstract: In the present note, we prove new lower bounds on large values of character sums $Delta(x,q):=ma{x}_{chieqch{i}_0}vertsu{m}_{nleqx}chi(n)vert$ in certain ranges of $x$. Employing an implementation of the resonance method developed in a work involving the author in order to exhibit large values of $L$- functions, we improve some results of Hough in the range $logx=o(sqrtlogq)$. Our results are expressed using the counting function of $y$- friable integers less than $x$ where we improve the level of smoothness $y$ for short intervals.
