Abstract

Let μ(n)\mu(n) be the M\"obius function, e(z)=exp(2πiz)e(z) = \exp(2\pi iz), xx real and 2yx2\leq y \leq x. This paper proves two sequences (μ(n))(\mu(n)) and (e(nkα))(e(n^k \alpha)) are strongly orthogonal in short intervals. That is, if k3k \geq 3 being fixed and yx11/4+εy\geq x^{1-1/4+\varepsilon}, then for any A>0A>0, we have x<nx+yμ(n)e(nkα)y(logy)A \sum_{x< n \leq x+y} \mu(n) e\left(n^k \alpha \right) \ll y(\log y)^{-A} uniformly for αR\alpha \in \mathbb{R}.
