Mixed Granville–Soundararajan conjecture for twisted character sums

About 4 years old · traced to

Let χ\chi be a non-principal character modulo qq, let 1⩽x⩽min⁡{q,T}1\leqslant x\leqslant\min\{q,T\}, and let 2T⩽t⩽5T2T\leqslant t\leqslant5T. Write χ0\chi_0 for the principal character modulo qq, and let P+(n)P^{+}(n) denote the largest prime factor of nn.

Mixed conjecture. There exists a constant A>0A>0 such that, uniformly in these ranges,

∑n⩽xχ(n)nit=∑n⩽x+(n)⩽yχ(n)nit+o(Ψ(x,y;χ0)),as q→∞, T→∞,\sum_{n\leqslant x}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^{it}}=\sum_{\substack{n\leqslant x\P^{+}(n)\leqslant y}}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^{it}}+o\bigl(\Psi(x,y;\chi_0)\bigr),\qquad\text{as }q\to\infty,\ T\to\infty,

where y=(log⁡(qT)+log⁡2x)(log⁡2(qT))Ay=(\log(qT)+\log^2x)(\log_2(qT))^A.

This combines the character-sum and oscillatory smooth-approximation conjectures. The source gives no evidence of a proof or disproof.
