AbstractThe Pólya-Vinogradov inequality is generalized to arbitrary algebraic number fields K of finite degree over the rationals. The proof makes use of Siegel's summation formula and requires results about Hecke's zeta-functions with Grössencharacters. One application is to the problem of estimating a least totally positive primitive root modulo a prime ideal of K, least in the sense that its norm is minimal.
