This is the second in a series of three papers dealing with sums of squares and hypoellipticity in the infinitely degenerate regime. We give sharp conditions on the entries of a positive semidefinite NxN matrix function F on n-dimensional…

Landau examined the partial sums of the M\"obius function and the Liouville function for a number field $K$. First we shall try again the same problem by using a new Perron's formula due to Liu and Ye. Next we consider the equivalent…
