On the Orbits of Multiplicative Pairs

Number Theory 2020-03-18 v1

Abstract

We characterize all pairs of completely multiplicative functions f,g:NTf,g:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{T} such that the orbit closure {(f(n),g(n+1))}n1T×T.\overline{\{(f(n),g(n+1))\}_{n\ge 1}} \neq \mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{T}. In so doing, we settle an old conjecture of Zolt\'an Dar\'oczy and Imre K\'atai.
