Farmer–Gonek–Hughes conjecture on character sums
Farmer–Gonek–Hughes conjecture on character sums
Let be a primitive character modulo , and write .
Farmer–Gonek–Hughes conjecture. As , there is a constant such that
The conjecture would substantially improve the currently admissible growth for under GRH and could improve the paper's bounds for least character non-residues. The source attributes it to heuristics and predictions of Farmer, Gonek, and Hughes; it does not state that the conjecture has been proved.
