09/12/2008 Some problems in the second homework refer to a primitive character modulo N. I haven't defined the notion in class, for which I apologize. Here is the definition. If M is a divisor of N, then every character mod M induces a character mod N. All characters induced this way are called imprimitive. The characters mod N that cannot be induced from a character modulo a divisor of N are called primitive.
Also, in the same problem set, the twisted Poisson summation formula has an extra $\chi(-1)$ factor. Please make the change accordingly.
