Aperiodic multiplicative orthogonality conjecture for homogeneous ergodic averages

About 9 years old · traced to

Let ν\bm \nu be an aperiodic bounded multiplicative function and let l≥2l\geq 2 be a positive integer. Let T1,…,TlT_1,\ldots,T_l be commuting measure-preserving transformations acting on the same probability space (X,A,μ)(X,\mathcal{A},\mu), and let f1,…,fl∈L∞(X,μ)f_1,\ldots,f_l\in L^\infty(X,\mu). Aperiodic multiplicative orthogonality conjecture. For almost every x∈Xx\in X,

1N∑n=1Nν(n)∏j=1lfj(Tjnx)⟶0as N→+∞.\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N}\bm \nu(n)\prod_{j=1}^{l}f_j(T_j^n x)\longrightarrow 0\quad\text{as }N\to+\infty.

This conjecture predicts almost-sure cancellation of homogeneous multilinear ergodic averages weighted by any aperiodic bounded multiplicative function, including the Möbius and Liouville functions. It extends the corresponding convergence results established in the paper, while the general case remains open.
