Abstract: In recent years, maximizing G'al sums regained interest due to a firm link with large values of L-functions. In the present paper, we initiate an investigation of small sums of G'al type, with respect to the L1-norm. We also consider the intertwined question of minimizing weighted versions of the usual multiplicative energy. We apply our estimates to: (i) a logarithmic refinement of Burgess' bound on character sums, improving previous results of Kerr, Shparlinski and Yau; (ii) an improvement on earlier lower bounds by Louboutin and the second author for the number of non vanishing theta functions associated to Dirichlet characters; and (iii) new lower bounds for low moments of character sums.
