Abstract: We examine oscillations in a number of sums of arithmetic functions involving $Omega(n)$, the total number of prime factors of $n$, and $omega(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. In particular, we examine oscillations in $S_{a}lpha(x)=su{m}_{nleqx}(-1{)}^{n-Omega(n)}/n^{a}lpha$ and in $H_{a}lpha(x)=su{m}_{nleqx}(-1{)}^{omega(n)}/n^{alpha}$ for $alphain[0,1]$, and in $W(x)=su{m}_{nleqx}(-2{)}^{Omega(n)}$. We show for example that each of the inequalities $S_0(x)<0$, $S_0(x)>3.3sqrtx$, $S_1(x)>0$, and $S_1(x)sqrtx<-3.3$ is true infinitely often, disproving some hypotheses of Sun.
