Partial sums of biased random multiplicative functions

Publication date 22 November 2016

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l P

be the set of the primes. We consider a class of random multiplicative functions

f

supported on the squarefree integers, such that

{f (p)}_{p i n m a t h c a l P}

form a sequence of

p m 1

valued independent random variables with

m a t h b b E f (p) < 0

,

f o r a l l p i n m a t h c a l P

. The function

f

is called strongly biased (towards classical M"obius function), if

s u m_{p i n m a t h c a l P} f r a c f (p) p = - i n f t y

a.s., and it is weakly biased if

s u m_{p i n m a t h c a l P} f r a c f (p) p

converges a.s. Let

M_{f} (x) := s u m_{n l e q x} f (n)

. We establish a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for

M_{f} (x) = o (x^{1 - a l p h a})

for some

a l p h a > 0

, a.s., when

f

is strongly or weakly biased, and prove that the Riemann Hypothesis holds if and only if

M_{f_{a} l p h a} (x) = o (x^{1 / 2 + e p s i l o n})

for all

e p s i l o n > 0

a.s., for each

a l p h a > 0

, where

{f_{a} l p h a}_{a} l p h a

is a certain family of weakly biased random multiplicative functions.
