We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that on primes $f(p)=\pm1$ and such that $M_f(x):=\sum_{n\leq x} f(n)=o(\sqrt{x})$. Further, by assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH) we can go…
In these notes we study several categorical generalizations of the M\"obius function and discuss the relations between the various approaches. We emphasize the topological and geometric meaning of these constructions.
In this paper, we investigate the umbral representation of the Fubini polynomials $F_{x}^{n}:=F_{n}(x)$ to derive some properties involving these polynomials. For any prime number $p$ and any polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients, we…
We use M\"obius inversion and the Bernoulli polynomials to prove inequalities between the logarithmic summatory function of the M\"obius function and weighted averages of its ordinary summatory function.
In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…
We give a short proof of "Pellet's Formula" for the M\"{o}bius Function on $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$, deriving an intermediate formula (which we call "Proto-Pellet's Formula") along the way. We then construct and prove an analogous "Proto-Pellet's…
We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…
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…
