On the Möbius function in all short intervals

نویسندگان

چکیده

We show that, for the M\"obius function $\mu(n)$, we have $$ \sum_{x < n\leq x+x^{\theta}}\mu(n)=o(x^{\theta}) any $\theta>0.55$. This improves on a result of Ramachandra from 1976, which is valid $\theta>7/12$. Ramachandra's corresponded to Huxley's $7/12$ exponent prime number theorem in short intervals. The main new idea leading improvement using Ramar\'e's identity extract small factor $n$-sum. proof method also allows us improve an estimate Zhan exponential sum as well some results multiplicative functions and almost primes

On the symmetry of primes in almost all short intervals

– In this paper we study the symmetry of primes in almost all short intervals; by elementary methods (based on the Large Sieve) we give, for h x log x (c > 0, suitable), a non-trivial estimate for the mean-square (over N < x ≤ 2N) of an average of “symmetry sums”; these sums control the symmetry of the von-Mangoldt function in short intervals around x. We explicitly remark that our results are ...

Primes in Almost All Short Intervals

It is well known that Huxley’s density estimates [5] for the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function yield J(x, h) = o(xh2(log x)−2), but only for h ≥ x1/6(log x) , for some C > 0. The weaker result with h ≥ x1/6+ε is proved in Saffari and Vaughan [8], Lemma 5, and in [13], where an identity of Heath-Brown (Lemma 1 of [3]) is used. This paper is inspired by Heath-Brown’s extension [4] of Huxley’s Th...

The Möbius Function in Short Intervals

In this article we consider M(x), the summatory function of the Möbius function, in short intervals. More precisely, we give an argument which suggests that M(x + h)−M(x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ N is approximately normal with mean ∼ 0 and variance ∼ 6h π2 where h and N satisfy appropriate conditions. This argument is conditional on the assumption of a version of the HardyLittlewood prime k-tuples conjectur...

A Note on the Liouville Function in Short Intervals

In this note we give a short and self-contained proof that, for any δ > 0, ∑ x≤n≤x+xδ λ(n) = o(x ) for almost all x ∈ [X, 2X]. We also sketch a proof of a generalization of such a result to general real-valued multiplicative functions. Both results are special cases of results in our more involved and lengthy recent pre-print.
