The logarithmic Burgess-like character-sum conjecture

Let qq be a positive integer, let χ\chi be a non-principal character modulo qq, and let xx satisfy

logxloglogq.\frac{\log x}{\log \log q}\longrightarrow\infty.

Burgess-like character-sum conjecture. For a fixed ϵ>0\epsilon>0, one has

nxχ(n)ϵx(logx)3+ϵ.\sum_{n\leqslant x}\chi(n)\ll_{\epsilon} \frac{x}{(\log x)^{3+\epsilon}}.

This is the Burgess-like estimate used to control the relevant exponential character sums; the paper notes that this bound is proven assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, while the conjectural formulation is used to derive the subsequent estimate.
