Abstract: We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=pm1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, then we can improve the exponent $1/k$: There are examples such that the partial sums up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/(k+frac12)+epsilon})$, for all $epsilon>0$. This generalizes to the $k$-free integers the results of Aymone, `` A note on multiplicative functions resembling the {M}"{o}bius function, J. Number Theory, 212 (2020), pp. 113--121.

Review text

The authors prove that there exists a multiplicative function \(f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,0,1\}\) supported on the \(k\)-free integers such that \(f(p)=\pm1\) for any prime \(p\), and for some constant \(c>0\), \[ \sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1/k}\exp\left(-c(\log x)^{1/4}\right). \] Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, they improve on the above approximation up to \(x^{1/(k+1/2)+\varepsilon}\) for any \(\varepsilon>0\).
