Abstract: Let $m$ be a positive integer, and define ${\displaystyle }$zeta_m(s)=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-e^{2pi i/m})^{omega(n)}}{n^s} ext{and} zeta^*_m(s)=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-e^{2pi i/m})^{Omega(n)}}{n^s},${\displaystyle }$ for $Re(s)>1$, where $omega(n)$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, and $Omega(n)$ represents the total number of prime factors of $n$ (counted with multiplicity). In this paper we study these two zeta functions and related arithmetical functions. We show that ${\displaystyle }$sum^infty_{n=1atop n ext{is squarefree}}frac{(-e^{2pi i/m})^{omega(n)}}n=0quad ext{if} m>4,${\displaystyle }$ which is similar to the known identity $su{m}_{n=1}^{i}nftymu(n)/n=0$ equivalent to the Prime Number Theorem. For $m>4$, we prove that ${\displaystyle }$zeta_m(1):=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-e^{2pi i/m})^{omega(n)}}n=0 ext{and} zeta^*_m(1):=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-e^{2pi i/m})^{Omega(n)}}n=0.${\displaystyle }$ We also raise a hypothesis on the parities of $Omega(n)-n$ which implies the Riemann Hypothesis.

Review text

The author considers the extensions of well-known functions \(\mu(n)\), \(\lambda(n)\) and \(\zeta(s)\), for \(n \in\mathbb Z_+\) and \(s=\sigma+it\) (the Möbius function, the Liouville function and the Riemann zeta-function, respectively). For \(\sigma>1\) and \(m \in\mathbb Z_+\), let NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \zeta_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\big(-e^{2 \pi i/ m}\big)^{\omega(n)}}{n^s} \quad \text{and} \quad \zeta_m^*(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\big(-e^{2 \pi i/ m}\big)^{\Omega(n)}}{n^s}, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\omega(n)\) and \(\Omega(n)\) denote the number of distinct prime factors of \(n\) and total number of prime factors of \(n\), respectively.NEWLINENEWLINEThese two zeta-functions and related extended arithmetical functions \(\mu_m(n)\), \(\nu_m(n)\) and \(\nu_m^*(n)\) are studied. It is proved that, for \(m>4\), both \(\zeta_m(1)\) and \(\zeta_m^*(1)\) are equal to zero. Also it is shown that, for \(m>4\) and squarefree \(n\), \(\zeta_m(s)=0\).
