Moments of random multiplicative functions over function fields

From MaRDI portal





Let \(q\) be a prime power, and let \(\mathbb{F}_q(t)\) be the polynomial ring over the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_q\) with \(q\) elements. Let \(\mathcal{M}\) denote the set of all monic polynomials in \(\mathbb{F}_q(t)\), and let \(\mathcal{M}_N\subset\mathcal{M}\) be the set of monic polynomials of degree \(N\). Let\(\big\{f(P)\big\}_P\) be a sequence of independent random variables indexed by the monic irreducible polynomials \(P\) from \(\mathbb{F}_q(t)\) and uniformly distributed on the complex unit circle. Let \(f\) be a \textit{Steinhaus random multiplicative function} over the ring \(\mathbb{F}_q(t)\), i.e. \(f:\mathcal{M}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}\) such that \(f(1)=1\) and \N\[\N f(F)=\big(f(P_1)\big)^{\alpha_1}\ldots \big(f(P_r)\big)^{\alpha_r} \N\]\Nfor \(F\in\mathcal{M}\), where \(F=P_1^{\,\alpha_1}\ldots P_r^{\,\alpha_r}\) for distinct monic irreducible polynomials \(P_1,\ldots P_r\) and positive integers \(\alpha_1,\ldots \alpha_r\).\N\NThe authors of the paper consider the asymptotic behavior of the random variable \N\[\N\sum_{F\in\mathcal{M}_N}f(F). \N\]\NThe authors present and prove two statements on the asymptotic behavior of \N\[\N\mathbb{E}\bigg{|} \sum_{F\in\mathcal{M}_N}f(F) \bigg{|}^{2k}, \, k\in\mathbb{N}, \N\]\Nand the statement on the exact value of \N\[ \N\mathbb{E}\bigg{|} \sum_{F\in\mathcal{M}_N}f(F) \bigg{|}^{4}. \N\]
