The logarithmically averaged Chowla conjecture

Let k1k\geq 1, let a1,,aka_1,\dots,a_k be natural numbers, and let b1,,bkb_1,\dots,b_k be distinct nonnegative integers satisfying

aibjajbi0a_i b_j-a_j b_i\neq 0

for 1i<jk1\leq i<j\leq k. Let λ\lambda denote the Liouville function. Logarithmically averaged Chowla conjecture. For all 2ωX2\leq\omega\leq X,

X/ωnXλ(a1n+b1)λ(akn+bk)n=oω(logω).\sum_{X/\omega\leq n\leq X}\frac{\lambda(a_1n+b_1)\dots\lambda(a_kn+b_k)}{n}=o_{\omega\to\infty}(\log\omega).

The conjecture is a logarithmically averaged weakening of Chowla's conjecture; its k=2k=2 case is known, while the general cases remain open.
