The Limiting Distribution of Character Sums

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the distribution of the continuous paths of Dirichlet character sums modulo prime q on the complex plane. We also find a limiting distribution as q → ∞ using Steinhaus random multiplicative functions, stating properties of this random process. This is motivated by Kowalski and Sawin's work on Kloosterman paths.
