Jun 25, 2018 at 16:50 comment added Wojowu @WillSawin Woops, you are completely right! It should've been $O(x\exp(-\sqrt{\log X}))$.
Jun 25, 2018 at 16:46 comment added Will Sawin @Wojowu Are you sure that unconditional estimate is right? It seems stronger than the conditional exponent. You mean a savings of exp root log over the trivial bound?
Jun 25, 2018 at 16:44 comment added Wojowu I think this is basically equivalent to finding zero-free regions for the Dirichlet L-function associated with the Legendre symbol (which is a Dirichlet character modulo $4d$). Therefore, unconditionally, we have estimates like $O(\exp(\sqrt{\log X}))$, while conjecturally $O(X^{1/2+\varepsilon})$.
