A more intuitive proof of a sharp version of Halász's theorem

Abstract: We prove a sharp version of Hal'asz's theorem on sums

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

of multiplicative functions

f

with

| f (n) | l e 1

. Our proof avoids the "average of averages" and "integration over

a l p h a

" manoeuvres that are present in many of the existing arguments. Instead, motivated by the circle method we express

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

as a triple Dirichlet convolution, and apply Perron's formula.
