Estimates on character sums (11L40) (zeta (s)) and (L(s, chi)) (11M06)

Abstract: We establish that three well-known and rather different looking conjectures about Dirichlet characters and their (weighted) sums, (concerning the P'{o}lya-Vinogradov theorem for maximal character sums, the maximal admissible range in Burgess' estimate for short character sums, and upper bounds for $L(1,chi)$ and $L(1+it,chi)$) are more-or-less "equivalent". We also obtain a new mean value theorem for logarithmically weighted sums of 1-bounded multiplicative functions.
