Elliott's conjecture on correlations of multiplicative functions

About 13 years old · traced to

Let U:={z∈C:∣z∣≤1}\mathbb{U}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|\leq 1\}. Let g1,…,gk:N→Ug_1,\ldots,g_k:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{U} be multiplicative functions and let a1,…,aka_1,\ldots,a_k be distinct non-negative integers. Assume that there is an index 1≤j0≤k1\leq j_0\leq k such that, for every fixed Dirichlet character χ\chi,

lim⁡X→∞inf⁡∣t∣≤X∑p≤X1−Re⁡(gj0(p)χ‾(p)p−it)p=∞.\lim_{X\to\infty}\inf_{|t|\leq X}\sum_{p\leq X}\frac{1-\operatorname{Re}(g_{j_0}(p)\overline{\chi}(p)p^{-it})}{p}=\infty.

Elliott's conjecture. Then, as X→∞X\to\infty,

∑n≤Xg1(n+a1)⋯gk(n+ak)=o(X).\sum_{n\leq X}g_1(n+a_1)\cdots g_k(n+a_k)=o(X).

The conjecture is invoked to upgrade the paper's results on chains of Fourier coefficients from upper-density statements to natural-density statements; it is not proved in the source.
