%0 Journal Article %T Negative values of truncations to $L(1,¦Ö)$ %A Andrew Granville %A K. Soundararajan %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X For a given $x$ we consider the minimum of $\sum_{n\le x} \chi(n)/n$ as $\chi$ ranges over all quadratic Dirichlet characters. For all large $x$, this minimum is negative and we give upper and lower bounds for it. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0508361v1
