Abstract

This article provides new asymptotic results for the summatory Mobius function pxμ(p+a)=O(x(logx)c)\sum_{p \leq x} \mu(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right ) and the summatory Liouville function pxλ(p+a)=O(x(logx)c)\sum_{p \leq x} \lambda(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right ) over the shifted primes, where a0a\ne0 is a fixed parameter, and c>1c>1 is an arbitrary constant. These results improve the current estimates pxμ(p+a)=(1δ)π(x)\sum_{p \leq x} \mu(p+a)=(1-\delta)\pi(x), and pxλ(p+a)=(1δ)π(x)\sum_{p \leq x} \lambda(p+a)=(1-\delta)\pi(x) for δ>0\delta>0, respectively. Furthermore, a conditional proof for the autocorrelation function pxμ(p+a)μ(p+b)=O(x(logx)c)\sum_{p \leq x} \mu(p+a)\mu(p+b) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right ), and an unconditional proof for the autocorrelation function pxλ(p+a)λ(p+b)=O(x(logx)c)\sum_{p \leq x} \lambda(p+a)\lambda(p+b) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right ) over the shifted primes, where aba\ne b, are also included.
