Large-parameter conjecture for the normalized generalized summatory function

About 2 years old · traced to

For real a>0a>0, define

Wa(x)=∑n≤x(−a)Ω(n).W_a(x)=\sum_{n\leq x}(-a)^{\Omega(n)}.

Let W~a(x)\widetilde{W}_a(x) and sas_a be the normalized function and its limit superior defined in the source's preceding theorem. Large-parameter conjecture.

lim⁡a→∞sa=1.\lim_{a\to\infty}s_a=1.

Computations suggest that the local maxima of the normalized function approach 11 as aa grows. The conjecture remains open.
