Exact formulas for partial sums of the M\"obius function expressed by partial sums weighted by the Liouville lambda function
Abstract
The Mertens function, , is defined as the summatory function of the classical M\"obius function. The Dirichlet inverse function is defined in terms of the shifted strongly additive function that counts the number of distinct prime factors of without multiplicity. The Dirichlet generating function (DGF) of is for where is the prime zeta function. We study the distribution of the unsigned functions with DGF and with DGF for . We establish formulas for the average order and variance of and prove a central limit theorem for the distribution of its values on the integers as . Discrete convolutions of the partial sums of with the prime counting function provide new exact formulas for .
