This is a survey paper of some recent results on the \(L^1\) norm of the exponential sums formed with classical arithmetical functions. For example one has \[ X^{1/4}\ll\int_0^1|\sum_{n\leq X} a(n)e^{2\pi i\alpha}|d\alpha\ll X^{2/5}, \] where \(a(n)\) is 1 or 0 according to whether \(n\) is square-free or not. (Note that in a joint work, the reviewer and I. Ruzsa improve both exponents to 1/3.) The limitation of the general method and an application to the Barban--Davenport--Halberstam theorem are also discussed.
