A famous conjecture of Chowla states that the Liouville function $\lambda(n)$ has negligible correlations with its shifts. Recently, the authors established a weak form of the logarithmically averaged Elliott conjecture on correlations of…

The Chowla conjecture asserts that the values of the Liouville function form a normal sequence of plus and minus ones. Reinterpreted in the language of ergodic theory it asserts that the Liouville function is generic for the Bernoulli…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture, in the two-point correlation case, asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) = o(x) $$ as $x \to \infty$, for any fixed natural numbers…

It is shown that in a class of counterexamples to Elliott's conjecture by Matomaki, Radziwill and Tao, the Chowla conjecture holds along a subsequence.

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. A well known conjecture of Chowla asserts that for any distinct natural numbers $h_1,\dots,h_k$, one has $\sum_{1 \leq n \leq X} \lambda(n+h_1) \dotsm \lambda(n+h_k) = o(X)$ as $X \to \infty$.…

With the aim of treating the local behaviour of additive functions, we develop analogues of the Matom\"{a}ki-Radziwill theorem that allow us to approximate the average of a general additive function over a typical short interval in terms of…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. A problem posed by Chowla and by Cassaigne-Ferenczi-Mauduit-Rivat-S\'ark\"ozy asks to show that if $P(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, then the sequence $\lambda(P(n))$ changes sign infinitely often,…

Let $g_0,\dots,g_k: {\bf N} \to {\bf D}$ be $1$-bounded multiplicative functions, and let $h_0,\dots,h_k \in {\bf Z}$ be shifts. We consider correlation sequences $f: {\bf N} \to {\bf Z}$ of the form $$ f(a):= \widetilde{\lim}_{m \to…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that the logarithmic mean of $\lambda(\lfloor \alpha_1n\rfloor)\lambda(\lfloor \alpha_2n\rfloor)$ is $0$ whenever $\alpha_1,\alpha_2$ are positive reals with $\alpha_1/\alpha_2$…

We introduce a general result relating "short averages" of a multiplicative function to "long averages" which are well understood. This result has several consequences. First, for the M\"obius function we show that there are cancellations…

Let $\lambda (n)$ denote the Liouville function. Complementary to the prime number theorem, Chowla conjectured that \vspace{1mm} \noindent {\bf Conjecture (Chowla).} {\em \begin{equation} \label{a.1} \sum_{n\le x} \lambda (f(n)) =o(x)…

In this note we describe weight functions that exhibit a transitional behavior between weak and strong correlation with the Liouville function. We also describe a binary problem which may be considered as an interpolation between Chowla's…

We prove mean convergence, as $N\to\infty$, for the multiple ergodic averages $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N f_1(T_1^{p_1(n)}x)... f_\ell(T_\ell^{p_\ell(n)}x)$, where $p_1,...,p_\ell$ are integer polynomials with distinct degrees, and…

There has been recent interest in a hybrid form of the celebrated conjectures of Hardy-Littlewood and of Chowla. We prove that for any $k,\ell\ge1$ and distinct integers $h_2,\ldots,h_k,a_1,\ldots,a_\ell$, we have $$\sum_{n\leq…

We study convergence of ergodic averages along squares with polynomial weights. For a given polynomial $P\in \mathbb{Z}[\cdot]$, consider the set of all $\theta\in[0,1)$ such that for every aperiodic system $(X,\mu, T)$ there is a function…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of higher order correlations $$ \mathbb{E}_{n \leq X/d} g_1(n+ah_1) \cdots g_k(n+ah_k)$$ as a function of the parameters $a$ and $d$, where $g_1,\dots,g_k$ are bounded multiplicative functions,…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that, as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$\int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\substack{P(Y)\in \mathbb{R}[Y]\\ deg(P)\leq k}} \Big | \sum_{x \leq n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-P(n)) \Big |\ dx = o ( X H)$$ for…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $T_1,..., T_l$ be $l$ commuting invertible measure preserving transformations \linebreak of $X$. We show that if $T_1^{c_1} ... T_l^{c_l}$ is ergodic for each $(c_1,...,c_l)\neq…

We obtain new results pertaining to convergence and recurrence of multiple ergodic averages along functions from a Hardy field. Among other things, we confirm some of the conjectures posed by Frantzikinakis in [Fra10; Fra16] and obtain…

We establish a generalization of Bourgain double recurrence theorem by proving that for any map $T$ acting on a probability space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, and for any non-constant polynomials $P, Q$ mapping natural numbers to themselves, for…
