Vanishing-correlation conjecture for distinct irreducible binary quadratic forms
Vanishing-correlation conjecture for distinct irreducible binary quadratic forms
Let be irreducible binary quadratic forms that are not multiples of one another. Say that are good for vanishing of correlations of aperiodic multiplicative functions if, whenever are completely multiplicative and either is aperiodic on the primes associated with or is aperiodic on the primes associated with , the correlation averages specified in the paper vanish for every and .
Vanishing-correlation conjecture. If are irreducible binary quadratic forms that are not multiples of each other, then they are good for vanishing of correlations of aperiodic multiplicative functions.
The conjecture is intended to supply the aperiodic case needed for an application to partition-regularity results. The paper explicitly places it among its open questions and gives no proof in the supplied text.
