Abstract

Let gcd(m,n)\gcd(m,n) denote the greatest common divisor of the positive integers mm and nn, and let μ\mu represent the M\" obius function. For any real number x>5x>5, we define the summatory function of the M\" obius function involving the greatest common divisor as Sμ(x):=mnxμ(gcd(m,n)). S_{\mu}(x) := \sum_{mn\leq x} \mu(\gcd(m,n)). In this paper, we present an asymptotic formula for Sμ(x)S_{\mu}(x). Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we delve further into the asymptotic behavior of Sμ(x)S_{\mu}(x) and derive a mean square estimate for its error term. Our proof employs the Perron formula, Parseval's theorem, complex integration techniques, and the properties of the Riemann zeta-function.
