We show that the sum function of the M\"{o}bius function of a Beurling number system must satisfy the asymptotic bound $M(x)=o(x)$ if it satisfies the prime number theorem and its prime distribution function arises from a monotone…

In classical prime number theory there are several asymptotic formulas said to be "equivalent" to the PNT. One is the bound $M(x) = o(x)$ for the sum function of the Moebius function. For Beurling generalized numbers, this estimate is not…

We show that for Beurling generalized numbers the prime number theorem in remainder form $$\pi(x) = \operatorname*{Li}(x) + O\left(\frac{x}{\log^{n}x}\right) \quad \mbox{for all } n\in\mathbb{N}$$ is equivalent to (for some $a>0$) $$N(x) =…

We provide some upper bounds for the Mertens function ($M(n)$: the cumulative sum of the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function) by an approach of statistical mechanics, in which the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function is taken as a particular…

Let $N$ be the counting function of a Beurling generalized number system and let $\pi$ be the counting function of its primes. We show that the $L^{1}$-condition $$ \int_{1}^{\infty}|\frac{N(x)-ax}{x}|\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{x}<\infty $$ and the…

Let $\mu(n)$ denote the M\"obius function, define $M(x)= \sum_{n\leq x}^{}\mu (n)$. The main result of this paper is to prove that \begin{equation*} \displaystyle\lim_{x \to +\infty}\frac{M(x)}{x}=0 \end{equation*} which is equivalent to…

We establish the optimal order of Malliavin-type remainders in the asymptotic density approximation formula for Beurling generalized integers. Given $\alpha\in (0,1]$ and $c>0$ (with $c\leq 1$ if $\alpha=1$), a generalized number system is…

Continuing previous study of the Beurling zeta function, here we prove two results, generalizing long existing knowledge regarding the classical case of the Riemann zeta function and some of its generalizations. First, we address the…

Given $\beta\in(0,1)$, we show the existence of a Beurling generalized number system whose integer counting satisfies $N(x) = ax + O\bigl(x\exp(-c\log^{\beta} x)\bigr)$ for some $a>0$ and $c>0$, and whose prime counting function satisfies…

We investigate the existence of well-behaved Beurling number systems, which are systems of Beurling generalized primes and integers which admit a power saving in the error term of both their prime and integer-counting function. Concretely,…

Let $P^-(n)$ denote the smallest prime factor of a natural integer $n>1$. Furthermore let $\mu$ and $\omega$ denote respectively the M\"obius function and the number of distinct prime factors function. We show that, given any set ${{\scr…

It is a folklore conjecture that the M\"obius function exhibits cancellation on shifted primes; that is, $\sum_{p\le X}\mu(p+h) \ = \ o(\pi(X))$ as $X\to\infty$ for any fixed shift $h>0$. This appears in print at least since Hildebrand in…

This paper discusses a few main topics in Number Theory, such as the M\"{o}bius function and its generalization, leading up to the derivation of neat power series for the prime counting function, $\pi(x)$, and the prime-power counting…

Let $M(x)=\sum_{1\le n\le x}\mu(n)$ where $\mu$ is the M\"obius function. It is well-known that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that $M(x)=O(x^{1/2+\epsilon})$ for all $\epsilon>0$. There has been much interest and…

For a set of primes $\mathcal{P}$, let $\Psi(x, \mathcal{P})$ be the number of positive integers $n \leq x$ all of whose prime factors lie in $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper we classify the sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that $\Psi(x,…

Let $G$ be the simple group ${\rm PSL}(3,2^p)$, where $p$ is a prime number. For any subgroup $H$ of $G$, we compute the M\"obius function of $H$ in the subgroup lattice of $G$. To this aim, we describe the intersections of maximal…

We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…

The Mertens function, $M(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, is defined as the summatory function of the classical M\"obius function. The Dirichlet inverse function $g(n) := (\omega+1)^{-1}(n)$ is defined in terms of the shifted strongly…
