Heuristic least-nonresidue bound from a quadratic twist
Let be an odd primitive Dirichlet character modulo with , and define
Let denote the least positive integer with , and let denote the maximum size of the partial sums of . Heuristic conjecture. One expects that
This is presented as a heuristic consequence suggesting that the preceding bounds are not optimal; it would relate the least nonresidue directly to one specific quadratic twist and could sharpen estimates for least nonresidues if proved.
