Abstract
We study the conjecture that ∑n≤xχ(n)=o(x) for any primitive Dirichlet character χ modulo q with x≥qϵ, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for L(s,χ). We show that it holds under the weaker assumption that „100%" of the zeros of L(s,χ) up to height 1/4 lie on the critical line. We also establish various other consequences of having large character sums; for example, that if the conjecture holds for χ2 then it also holds for χ.
