Abstract: If $gcd(r,t)=1$, then a theorem of Alladi offers the M"obius sum identity ${\displaystyle }$-sum_{substack{ n geq 2 \ p_{ m{min}}(n) equiv r pmod{t}}} mu(n)n^{-1}= frac{1}{varphi(t)}. ${\displaystyle }$ Here $p_{mmin}(n)$ is the smallest prime divisor of $n$. The right-hand side represents the proportion of primes in a fixed arithmetic progression modulo $t$. Locus generalized this to Chebotarev densities for Galois extensions. Answering a question of Alladi, we obtain analogs of these results to arithmetic densities of subsets of positive integers using $q$-series and integer partitions. For suitable subsets $S$ of the positive integers with density $d_S$, we prove that [- lim_{q o 1} sum_{substack{ lambda in mathcal{P} \ m{sm}(lambda) in S}} mu_{mathcal{P}} (lambda)q^{vert lambda vert} = d_{S},] where the sum is taken over integer partitions $lambda$, $m{u}_{mathcalP}(lambda)$ is a partition-theoretic M"obius function, $vertlambdavert$ is the size of partition $lambda$, and $msm(lambda)$ is the smallest part of $lambda$. In particular, we obtain partition-theoretic formulas for even powers of $pi$ when considering power-free integers.
