Möbius orthogonality conjecture for nilsequences

About 20 years old · traced to

Let G/ΓG/\Gamma be a kk-step nilmanifold, let Tg(xΓ)=xgΓT_g(x\Gamma)=xg\Gamma, and let (F(Tgn⋅x))n∈N(F(T_g^n\cdot x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a kk-step nilsequence. The Möbius orthogonality conjecture for nilsequences. For every A>0A>0,

En⩽Nμ(n)F(Tgn⋅x)≪A,G/Γ,Flog⁡−AN.\mathbb{E}_{n\leqslant N}\mu(n)F(T_g^n\cdot x)\ll_{A,G/\Gamma,F}\log^{-A}N.

This is a quantitative form of Möbius disjointness from nilsequences and is proposed as a reduction step in the Hardy–Littlewood method. The supplied text gives no resolution status, so it is recorded as open.
