Dec 14, 2011 at 3:44 comment added Noam D. Elkies Even if it were possible to have $t \ll p^{1/2 + \epsilon}$ then $p-t$ would work too and satisfy $t \gg p^{1/2 + \epsilon}$ by a wide margin...

Dec 14, 2011 at 0:44 comment added Noam D. Elkies Burgess proved the character sum is $O(p^{3/16} t^{1/2} \log p)$, so if it's $\gg p^{1/2}$ then $t \gg p^{5/8 - \epsilon}$.
Dec 14, 2011 at 0:37 comment added fedja Are you sure you want to write $\gg$ (large $t$) rather than $\ll$?
