Bag, Li and Zhang's weighted generalized quadratic Gauss-sum moment conjecture

Let pp be a sufficiently large prime, let mm be a positive integer, and let nn be an integer satisfying (n,p)=1(n,p)=1. Let χ0\chi_0 be the principal character modulo pp, let L(s,χ)L(s,\chi) be the associated Dirichlet LL-function, and set e(y)=e2πiye(y)=e^{2\pi iy}. Bag, Li and Zhang's conjecture.

1pm+1χχ0a=1p1χ(a)e(na2p)2mL(1,χ)=(2m1m)C+o(1),\frac{1}{p^{m+1}}\sum_{\chi\neq\chi_0}\left|\sum_{a=1}^{p-1}\chi(a)e\left(\frac{na^2}{p}\right)\right|^{2m}|L(1,\chi)|=\binom{2m-1}{m}C+o(1),

where CC is the constant defined by the corresponding Euler product in the source. This conjecture concerns moments weighted by central values of Dirichlet LL-functions. The supplied text does not state a proof of the general case, so it remains open here.
