Résumé

Considering partial character sums as defining a family of random processes (by choosing the characters randomly from some set), it becomes natural to ask questions about the limiting distribution. I’ll describe this in some contexts and give examples of what we can find in the support. This is largely work of Ayesha Hussain, but also some joint work.
