Better than square-root cancellation for random multiplicative functions

Abstract

We investigate when the better than square-root cancellation phenomenon exists for nNa(n)f(n)\sum_{n\le N}a(n)f(n), where a(n)Ca(n)\in \mathbb{C} and f(n)f(n) is a random multiplicative function. We focus on the case where a(n)a(n) is the indicator function of RR rough numbers. We prove that loglogR(loglogx)12\log \log R \asymp (\log \log x)^{\frac{1}{2}} is the threshold for the better than square-root cancellation phenomenon to disappear.
