Uniform better-than-square-root cancellation conjecture for smooth numbers
Let be a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, let denote the largest prime factor of , and define
Uniform smooth-number cancellation conjecture. The paper conjectures that its main estimate should hold uniformly for every :
The proved theorem establishes this only for ; extending it to the full range remains open.
