Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture, in the two-point correlation case, asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) = o(x) $$ as $x \to \infty$, for any fixed natural numbers…

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…

We present several Liouville type results for the $p$-Laplacian in $\R^N$. Suppose that $h$ is a nonnegative regular function such that $$ h(x) = a|x|^\gamma\ {\rm for}\ |x|\ {\rm large},\ a>0\ {\rm and}\ \gamma> -p. $$ We obtain the…

In the paper we consider singular spectral Sturm--Liouville problem $-(py')'+(q-\lambda r)y=0$, $(U-1)y^{\vee}+i(U+1)y^{\wedge}=0$, where function $p\in L_{\infty}[0,1]$ is uniformly positive, generalized function $q\in W_2^{-1}[0,1]$ is…

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…

Summation arithmetic functions of Mertens and Liouville are investigated in the paper. It is proved that the limiting distribution of these functions is the normal. It is also shown that the estimating of standard deviation of these…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that for all sufficiently large integers $N$, the (non-trivial) convolution sum bound $$ \left|\sum_{1 \leq n < N} \lambda(n) \lambda(N-n)\right| < N-1 $$ holds. This (essentially)…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function for function fields. We prove that for a fixed $q$, given $h \ll \sqrt{N}$ and $h(N) \to \infty$ arbitrarily slowly as $N \to \infty$, then \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{q^N}\sum_{G_0 \in…

Let $L(s,\pi)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\lambda_{\pi}(n)n^{-s}$ be an $L$-function that satisfies a weak form of the generalized Ramanujan conjecture. We prove that large partial sums of $\lambda_{\pi}(n)$ strongly repel the low-lying zeros of…

For graphs with non-negative Ollivier curvature, we prove the Liouville property, i.e., every bounded harmonic function is constant. Moreover, we improve Ollivier's results on concentration of the measure under positive Ollivier curvature.

Sturm-Liouville problem with generalized derivative of self-similar Cantor type function as a weight is considered. Under Neumann and mixed boundary conditions the oscillating properties of the eigenfunctions are studied. The spectral…

Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer and let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function. Given $k$ non-negative distinct integers $h_1,\ldots,h_k$, the Chowla conjecture claims that $\sum_{n\leq x}\lambda(n+h_1)\cdots \lambda(n+h_k)=o(x)$ as $x\to\infty$.…
