In applications, one often needs estimates for short sums involving $\\chi$. One such estimate is the family of bounds known as Burgess' inequality. In this paper, we explore several small adjustments one can make to the work of Enrique Trevi\\~no on explicit versions of Burgess' inequality. These improvements can be used to show that, for $p > 10^{5}$, the least $k$th power non-residue modulo $p$ is no larger than $p^\\frac{1}{6}$. We also provide a quick improvement to the conductor bounds for norm-Euclidean cyclic fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-30T04:54:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11L40" ], "keywords": [ "inequality", "explicit burgess inequalities", "th power non-residue modulo", "investigation", "dirichlet character modulo" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
