Abstract: We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the Liouville function $lambda(n):=(-1{)}^{Omega(n)}$, giving non-trivial bounds for its "symmetry integral", say $I_{lambda}(N,h)$ : we get $I_{lambda}(N,h)llNh{L}^3+N{h}^{21/20}$, with $L:=logN$. We also give similar results for other related arithmetic functions, like the M"{o}bius function $mu(n)$ ($=lambda(n)$ on square-free $n$).
