Zhang's moment conjecture for quadratic Gauss sums weighted by L-functions
Zhang's moment conjecture for quadratic Gauss sums weighted by L-functions
Let be prime, let be an integer, and for a Dirichlet character define the generalized quadratic Gauss sum
where . Let denote the principal character modulo , let be a positive integer, and define
where the product is over all primes. Zhang's conjecture. For all positive integers ,
This conjecture predicts an asymptotic relation between moments of quadratic Gauss sums weighted by the values of Dirichlet -functions and the corresponding unweighted character sum. The source attributes it to Zhang and gives no evidence of a resolution.
