Chowla's sign-pattern conjecture for consecutive Liouville values

Let s1s\geq 1 and let (ϵ1,,ϵs){1,1}s(\epsilon_1,\ldots,\epsilon_s)\in\{-1,1\}^s be a sign pattern. Chowla's sign-pattern conjecture. The set

{nN:λ(n+i)=ϵi i}\{n\in\mathbb{N}:\lambda(n+i)=\epsilon_i\ \forall i\}

has natural density 2s2^{-s}. This is the sign-pattern form of Chowla's conjecture; the case s=1s=1 is equivalent to the prime number theorem, while the full assertion remains open over the integers.
