Abstract: We show that for a Steinhaus random multiplicative function $f:mathbbNomathbbD$ and any polynomial $P(x)inmathbbZ[x]$ of $extdegPge2$ which is not of the form $w(x+c{)}^d$ for some $winmathbbZ$, $cinmathbbQ$, we have [frac{1}{sqrt{x}}sum_{nle x} f(P(n)) xrightarrow{d} mathcal{CN}(0,1),] where $mathcalCN(0,1)$ is the standard complex Gaussian distribution with mean $0$ and variance $1.$ This confirms a conjecture of Najnudel in a strong form. We further show that there almost surely exist arbitrary large values of $xge1,$ such that ${\displaystyle }$|sum_{nle x} f(P(n))| gg_{ ext{deg} P} sqrt{x} (log log x)^{1/2},${\displaystyle }$ for any polynomial $P(x)inmathbbZ[x]$ with $extdegPge2,$ which is not a product of linear factors (over $mathbbQ$). This matches the bound predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. Both of these results are in contrast with the well-known case of linear phase $P(n)=n,$ where the partial sums are known to behave in a non-Gaussian fashion and the corresponding sharp fluctuations are speculated to be $O(sqrtx(loglogx{)}^{frac14+varepsilon})$ for any $varepsilon>0$.
