Multiplicative functions resembling the Möbius function

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A multiplicative function f is said to be resembling the M"{o}bius function if f is supported on the square-free integers, and f(p)=pm1 for each prime p. We prove O- and Omega-results for the summatory function sumnleqxf(n) for a class of these f studied by Aymone, and the point is that these O-results demonstrate cancellations better than the square-root saving. It is proved in particular that the summatory function is O(x1/3+varepsilon) under the Riemann Hypothesis. On the other hand it is proved to be Omega(x1/4) unconditionally. It is interesting to compare these with the corresponding results for the M"{o}bius function.
