In mathematics, a character sum is a sum of values of a Dirichlet character χ moduloN, taken over a given range of values of n. Such sums are basic in a number of questions, for example in the distribution of quadratic residues, and in particular in the classical question of finding an upper bound for the least quadratic non-residue moduloN. Character sums are often closely linked to exponential sums by the Gauss sums (this is like a finite Mellin transform).
Assume χ is a non-principal Dirichlet character to the modulus N.
