Multiplicative functions with sum zero

Publication date 26 August 2021

Abstract:

C M O

functions are completely multiplicative functions

f

for which

s u m_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y f (n)

= 0

. These functions were first introduced and studied by Kahane and Sa"{i}as [5]. The main purpose of this paper is to generalise such functions to multiplicative functions and we shall call them

M O

functions. More precisely, we define

M O

functions to be multiplicative functions for which

s u m_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y f (n) = 0

and

s u m_{k = 0}^{i} n f t y f (p^{k})

e 0

for all

p i n m a t h b b P

. We give some properties and find examples of

M O

functions, as well as pointing out the connection between these functions and the Riemann hypothesis at the end of the paper.
