Abstract

CMOCMO functions are completely multiplicative functions ff for which n=1f(n)\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) =0=0. These functions were first introduced and studied by Kahane and Sa\"{i}as [5]. The main purpose of this paper is to generalise such functions to multiplicative functions and we shall call them MOMO functions. More precisely, we define MOMO functions to be multiplicative functions for which n=1f(n)=0\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) = 0 and k=0f(pk)\sum_{k=0}^\infty f(p^k) 0\ne 0 for all pPp \in \mathbb{P}. We give some properties and find examples of MOMO functions, as well as pointing out the connection between these functions and the Riemann hypothesis at the end of the paper.
