Estimates on character sums (11L40) Asymptotic results on arithmetic functions (11N37) Distribution functions associated with additive and positive multiplicative functions (11N60)

Abstract: We study logarithmically averaged binary correlations of bounded multiplicative functions $g_1$ and $g_2$. A breakthrough on these correlations was made by Tao, who showed that the correlation average is negligibly small whenever $g_1$ or $g_2$ does not pretend to be any twisted Dirichlet character, in the sense of the pretentious distance for multiplicative functions. We consider a wider class of real-valued multiplicative functions $g_j$, namely those that are uniformly distributed in arithmetic progressions to fixed moduli. Under this assumption, we obtain a discorrelation estimate, showing that the correlation of $g_1$ and $g_2$ is asymptotic to the product of their mean values. We derive several applications, first showing that the number of large prime factors of $n$ and $n+1$ are independent of each other with respect to the logarithmic density. Secondly, we prove a logarithmic version of the conjecture of ErdH{o}s and Pomerance on two consecutive smooth numbers. Thirdly, we show that if $Q$ is cube-free and belongs to the Burgess regime $Qleq{x}^{4-varepsilon}$, the logarithmic average around $x$ of the real character $chipmodQ$ over the values of a reducible quadratic polynomial is small.
