On the asymptotic density of the support of a Dirichlet convolution

Number Theory 2014-10-31 v1

Abstract

Let v be a multiplicative arithmetic function with support of positive asymptotic density. We prove that for any not identically zero arithmetic function f such that \sum_{f(n) \neq 0} 1 / n < \infty, the support of the Dirichlet convolution f * v possesses a positive asymptotic density. When f is a multiplicative function, we give also a quantitative version of this claim. This generalizes a previous result of P. Pollack and the author, concerning the support of M\"obius and Dirichlet transforms of arithmetic functions.
