Goldmakher's conjecture on logarithmic sums of multiplicative functions
Goldmakher's conjecture on logarithmic sums of multiplicative functions
Let denote the collection of all -bounded, completely multiplicative functions. For and , define the pretentious distance by
Goldmakher's conjecture. Let . Then for any ,
The conjecture relates the size of logarithmic partial sums to the pretentious distance from the constant function , asserting that large or unbounded sums can occur only when pretends to be . The paper states that the conjecture is disproved by constructing a function for which the corresponding ratio is unbounded.
