Multiplicative functions on shifted primes (Q2071714)

Let \( k\geqslant 2\) be an integer number, \(K=k(k+1)\big((k-1)!\big)^2\) and let \(f\) be a positive multiplicative function such that \(f(p)\rightarrow\infty\) as a prime number \(p\rightarrow\infty\). The author of the paper proves the following two implications. \(\bullet\) \textit{If \(\sum_{f(p)>1}(f(p)-1)=\infty\), then the set of tuples \( (f(p+1), \dots , f(p+k))\) is dense in \( [f(K), \infty) \times [f(1), \infty)\times\cdots\times[f(k-1), \infty)\)}. \(\bullet\) \textit{If \(\sum_{f(p)<1}(1-f(p))=\infty\), then the set of tuples \( (f(p+1), \dots , f(p+k))\) is dense in \( [0,f(K)] \times [0,f(1)]\times\cdots\times[0,f(k-1)]\)}. A number of interesting conclusions from this main result is also presented and discussed.
