Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We prove that $$\sum_{X \leq x < 2X} \sup_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}} \bigg\lvert\!\sum_{x \leq n < x+H} \lambda(n) e(n\alpha)\bigg\rvert = o(HX)$$ as $X\to \infty$, in the regime $H =…

{\em The Liouville number}, denoted $l$, is defined by $$l:=0.100101011101101111100...,$$ where the $n$th bit is given by ${1/2}(1+\gl(n))$; here $\gl$ is the Liouville function for the parity of prime divisors of $n$. Presumably the…

In this paper, we prove the following result. Let $\alpha$ be any real number between $0$ and $2$. Assume that $u$ is a solution of $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x) = 0 , \;\; x \in \mathbb{R}^n ,\\…

Define {\em the Liouville function for $A$}, a subset of the primes $P$, by $\lambda_{A}(n) =(-1)^{\Omega_A(n)}$ where $\Omega_A(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ coming from $A$ counting multiplicity. For the traditional Liouville…

For any Liouville number $\alpha$, all of the following are transcendental numbers: $\textrm{e}^\alpha$, $\log_\textrm{e}\alpha$, $\sin \alpha$, $\cos\alpha$, $\tan\alpha$, $\sinh\alpha$, $\cosh\alpha$, $\tanh\alpha$, $\arcsin\alpha$ and…

We use maximum principle to prove the Liouville theorem of the equation $\Delta U + b\cdot \nabla U + h U^{\alpha} = 0, U \geq 0, 0 < \alpha < \frac{n + 2}{n - 2}$ on the complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci tensor, which…

For every positive integer $m$ LeVeque (1953) defined the $U_m$-numbers as the transcendental numbers that admit very good approximation by algebraic numbers of degree $m$, but not by those of smaller degree. In these terms, Mahler's…

In 1953 LeVeque proved the existence of $U_m$-numbers by showing that for some specially defined Liouville number $\lambda$, the $m$th root $\lambda^{1/m}$ is in $U_m$. In this article we study the following question: let $u$ be an…

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…

We consider the elliptic equation $-\Delta u = u^q|\nabla u|^p$ in $\mathbb R^n$ for any $p\ge 2$ and $q>0$. We prove a Liouville-type theorem, which asserts that any positive bounded solution is constant. The proof technique is based on…
