On a Bohr set analogue of Chowla's conjecture

Published 22 Mar 2023 in math.NT | (2303.12574v1)

Abstract: Let λ\lambda denote the Liouville function. We show that the logarithmic mean of λ(⌊α1n⌋)λ(⌊α2n⌋)\lambda(\lfloor \alpha_1n\rfloor)\lambda(\lfloor \alpha_2n\rfloor) is $0$ whenever α1,α2\alpha_1,\alpha_2 are positive reals with α1/α2\alpha_1/\alpha_2 irrational. We also show that for k≥3k\geq 3 the logarithmic mean of λ(⌊α1n⌋)⋯λ(⌊αkn⌋)\lambda(\lfloor \alpha_1n\rfloor)\cdots \lambda(\lfloor \alpha_kn\rfloor) has some nontrivial amount of cancellation, under certain rational independence assumptions on the real numbers αi\alpha_i. Our results for the Liouville function generalise to produce independence statements for general bounded real-valued multiplicative functions evaluated at Beatty sequences. These results answer the two-point case of a conjecture of Frantzikinakis (and provide some progress on the higher order cases), generalising a recent result of Crn\v{c}evi\'c--Hern\'andez--Rizk--Sereesuchart--Tao. As an ingredient in our proofs, we establish bounds for the logarithmic correlations of the Liouville function along Bohr sets.
