Let λ(n) denote the Liouville function, i.e. λ(n) = 1 if n has an even number of prime factors, and λ(n) = − 1 otherwise. It is natural to expect that the sequence λ(n) (n ≥ 1) behaves like a random sequence of ± signs. In particular, it seems highly plausible that for any choice of εi = ± 1 (i = 0,…, k) we have

An arithmetic function f is said to be multiplicative if f(mn) = f(m)f(n), whenever (m, n) = 1 and f(1) = 1. The Dirichlet convolution of two arithmetic functions f and g, denoted by f • g, is defined by f • g(n) = Σd|nf(d)g(n/d). Let w(n) denote the product of the distinct prime factors of n, with w(l) = 1. R.

Abstract Given an additive function f and a multiplicative function g, let E(f, g;x) = #{n ≤ x: f(n) = g(n)}. We study the size of E(ω,g;x) and E(Ω,g;x), where ω(n) stands for the number of distinct prime factors of n and Ω(n) stands for the number of prime factors of n counting multiplicity. In particular, we show that E(ω,g;x) and E(Ω,g;x) are $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle O\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{\log\log x}}\right) \end{array}$ for any integer valued multiplicative function g. This improves an earlier result of De Koninck, Doyon and Letendre.

Abstract Let π be an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation of GL m {\operatorname{GL}_{m}} over ℚ {\mathbb{Q}} with unitary central character, and let λ π ⁢ ( n ) {\lambda_{\pi}(n)} be its n-th Dirichlet series coefficient. We study short sums of isotypic trace functions associated to some sheaves modulo primes q of bounded conductor, twisted by multiplicative functions λ π ⁢ ( n ) {\lambda_{\pi}(n)} and μ ⁢ ( n ) ⁢ λ π ⁢ ( n ) {\mu(n)\lambda_{\pi}(n)} . We are able to establish non-trivial bounds for these algebraic twisted sums with intervals of length of at least q 1 / 2 + ε {q^{1/2+\varepsilon}} for an arbitrary fixed ε > 0 {\varepsilon>0} .

Abstract We prove the logarithmic Sarnak conjecture for sequences of subquadratic word growth. In particular, we show that the Liouville function has at least quadratically many sign patterns. We deduce the main theorem from a variant which bounds the correlations between multiplicative functions and sequences with subquadratically many words which occur with positive logarithmic density. This allows us to actually prove that our multiplicative functions do not locally correlate with sequences of subquadratic word growth. We also prove a conditional result which shows that if the ( $\kappa -1$ )-Fourier uniformity conjecture holds then the Liouville function does not correlate with sequences with $O(n^{t-\varepsilon })$ many words of length n where $t = \kappa (\kappa +1)/2$ . We prove a variant of the $1$ -Fourier uniformity conjecture where the frequencies are restricted to any set of box dimension less than $1$ .
