Parity conjecture for the Möbius function on shifted primes
Parity conjecture for the Möbius function on shifted primes
Let be a finite sequence of primes and define . Say that is -squarefree if for every prime , and define
The shifted-prime parity conjecture. For non-zero , , and natural numbers ,
where the -constant depends at most on and . This generalizes the belief that has no preference for an even or odd number of prime factors; the source describes it as deep and gives no resolution.
