Abstract
For a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove convergence in distribution of the appropriately normalised partial sums where denotes the largest prime factor of . We find that the limiting distribution is given by the square root of an integral with respect to a critical Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure multiplied by an independent standard complex normal random variable.
