The equidistribution of the double sign patterns of the Liouville function $\lambda$ is proved unconditionally. As application, it is shown that the computable real number $$\sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1+\lambda(n)}{2^{n}}$$ is a simply normal…

We show that the $L^1$ norm of an exponential sum of length $X$ and with coefficients equal to the Liouville or M\"{o}bius function is at least $\gg_{\varepsilon} X^{1/4 - \varepsilon}$ for any given $\varepsilon$. For the Liouville…

In this paper, we are concerned with a Liouville-type result of the nonlinear integral equation \begin{equation*} u(x)=\overrightarrow{l}+C_*\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\frac{u(1-|u|^{2})}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}dy. \end{equation*} Here $u:…

We define a random Liouville function (\lambda_Q) which depends on a random set (Q) of primes and prove that (A_Q = \{n \in \mathbb{N} | \lambda_Q(n) = -1 \}) is normal almost everywhere. This fact enables us to generate a family of normal…

We show that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, prime $q$ sufficiently large with respect to $1 / \varepsilon$ and residue class $(a,q) = 1$, there exist two integers $m, n \leq q^{5/2 + \varepsilon}$ with $m \equiv n \equiv a \pmod{q}$ such that…

Let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function, defined as $\lambda(n) := (-1)^{\Omega(n)}$ where $\Omega(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity. In 2021, Helfgott and Radziwi{\l}{\l} proved that $$\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n}…

E. Maillet proved that the set of Liouville numbers is preserved under rational functions with rational coefficients. Based on this result, a problem posed by Kurt Mahler is to investigate whether there exist entire transcendental functions…

In this article we study the generalized Fourier dimension of the set of Liouville numbers $\mathbb{L}$. Being a set of zero Hausdorff dimension, the analysis has to be done at the level of functions with a slow decay at infinity acting as…

A Liouville function is a complex analytic function H with a Taylor series \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^n/a_n such the a_n's form a ``very fast growing'' sequence of integers. In this paper we exhibit the complete first-order theory of the complex…

We establish a Liouville-type inequality for the values, at a common nonzero algebraic point, of arbitrary Mahler Mq-functions. As an application, we prove that no such value is a Liouville number, or even a U -number. This solves a…
