We consider Mertens' function M(x,q,a) in arithmetic progression, Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH), we show an upper bound that is uniform for all moduli which are not too large. For the proof, a former method of K.…

We investigate Sarnak's conjecture on the M\"obius function in the special case when the test function is the indicator of the set of integers for which a real additive function assumes a given value.

In this paper, we study the counting functions $\psi_\mathcal{P}(x)$, $N_\mathcal{P}(x)$ and $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ of a generalized prime system $\mathcal{N}$. Here $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ is the partial sum of the M\"{o}bius function over…

We study the geometry associated to the distribution of certain arithmetic functions, including the von Mangoldt function and the M\"obius function, in short intervals of polynomials over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Using the…

We present some tools for providing situations where the generalised Rota formula of arXiv:1801.07504 applies. As an example of this, we compute the M\"obius function of the incidence algebra of any directed restriction species, free…

We prove that the M\"obius function is orthogonal to polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ (up to a characteristic condition). We use this orthogonality property to count prime solutions to affine-linear equations of bounded complexity in…

We study the poset $\mathcal{G}$ of all unlabelled graphs, up to isomorphism, with $H\le G$ if $H$ occurs as an induced subgraph in $G$. We present some general results on the M\"obius function of intervals of $\mathcal{G}$ and some results…

A generating set for a finite group $G$ is said to be minimal if no proper subset generates $G$, and $m(G)$ denotes the maximal size of a minimal generating set for $G$. We prove a conjecture of Lucchini, Moscatiello and Spiga by showing…

Minimal representations of a real reductive group G are the `smallest' irreducible unitary representations of G. We discuss special functions that arise in the analysis of L^2-model of minimal representations.

Let G be a group of permutations of a denumerable set E. The profile of G is the function phi which counts, for each n, the number phi(n) of orbits of G acting on the n-subsets of E. Counting functions arising this way, and their associated…

Given a permutational wreath product sequence of cyclic groups we investigate its minimal generating set, minimal generating set for its commutator and some properties of its commutator subgroup. We strengthen the result of author…

Let the summatory function of the M\"{o}bius function be denoted $M(x)$. We deduce in this article conditional results concerning $M(x)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal on the negative moments of the…

If $\gcd(r,t)=1$, then a theorem of Alladi offers the M\"obius sum identity $$-\sum_{\substack{ n \geq 2 \\ p_{\rm{min}}(n) \equiv r \pmod{t}}} \mu(n)n^{-1}= \frac{1}{\varphi(t)}. $$ Here $p_{\rm{min}}(n)$ is the smallest prime divisor of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H$ be a proper subgroup of $G$ of minimal index. By applying an old result of Y. Berkovich, we provide a polynomial algorithm for computing $|G : H|$ for a permutation group $G$. Moreover, we find $H$…

In 1980 Montgomery made a conjecture about the true order of the error term in the prime number theorem. In 2012 the author made an analogous conjecture for the true order of the sum of the M\"{o}bius function, $M(x)$. This refined an…

A complete mapping of a group $G$ is a bijection $\phi\colon G\to G$ such that $x\mapsto x\phi(x)$ is also bijective. Hall and Paige conjectured in 1955 that a finite group $G$ has a complete mapping whenever $\prod_{x\in G} x$ is the…

For a residually finite group $G$, its normal subgroups $G\supset G_1\supset G_2\cdots$ with $\cap_{n\in\mathbb N}G_n=\{e\}$ and for a growth function $\gamma$ we construct a unitary representation $\pi_\gamma$ of $G$. For the minimal…

Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the Monster group, which is the largest sporadic finite simple group, and has first been constructed in 1982 by Griess. In 1985 Conway has constructed a 196884-dimensional rational epresentation $\rho$ of $\mathbb{M}$…

We introduce a new way of counting numerical semigroups, namely by their maximum primitive, and show its relation with the counting of numerical semigroups by their Frobenius number. We show that these two ways of counting are M\"obius…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and consider the $n$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector space $V=\mathbb{F}_q^n\,$. In this paper we define a closure operator on the subgroup lattice of the group $G =…
