Abstract

In 1965, Chowla conjectured that the signs of the Liouville function become asymptotically uncorrelated at any fixed collection of distinct shifts. In 2015, Matom\"aki, Radziwi\l\l{} and Tao proved an averaged form of Chowla's conjecture. In 2022, Lichtman proved a variant of this conjecture over primes on average. In the same year, Lichtman and Ter\"av\"ainen proved the Hardy--Littlewood--Chowla conjecture on average. In this article, motivated by the recent work of Bergelson and Richter on the dynamical generalizations of the prime number theorem, we will establish the dynamical generalizations of these three results related to Chowla's conjecture. In the proofs, we will show a uniform pretentious-distance estimate on the prime Omega function. Then exponential sum estimates are used to establish the averaged shift invariance of the distributions related to the shifted sum of the prime Omega function.

Two averaged dynamical generalizations of Chowla's conjecture

Let $k\ge1$ be an integer and let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function. In 1965, Chowla gave a conjecture that the values of $\lambda(n+h_1),\dots, \lambda(n+h_k)$ are asymptotically unrelated for any distinct natural numbers $h_1, \dots, h_k$. In this article, motivated by the recent work of Bergelson and Richter on th...

Asymptotic uncorrelations between functions with squarefull kernel and functions of invariant average

In 1986, Ivi\'c and Tenenbaum introduced arithmetic functions with squarefull kernel, which are also called $s$-functions. Later, Erd\H{o}s and Ivi\'c gave an asymptotic estimate on the shifted convolution sums of $s$-functions. Recently, Bergelson and Richter studied the orbits along the prime Omega function in a uniq...

The modified Cartan conjecture

In 1928 H. Cartan stated a conjecture about holomorphic curves in $\mathbb{P}^n$ parametrized by the unit disc, omitting $n+2$ hyperplanes in general position. He proved it for $n=2$. In 1996 the first-named author constructed counterexamples for all $n\geq 3$, and proposed a modified form of Cartan's conjecture which...

Two new proofs of Chui's Conjecture in Weighted Bergman Spaces

Chui's conjecture asks whether the average electrostatic field generated by $N$ unit point charges on the unit circle is minimized when the charges are equally spaced. Abakumov, Borichev, and Fedorovskiy proved an analogue of this conjecture in weighted Bergman spaces, showing that the corresponding norm is minimized u...

On Elliott's conjecture and applications

Let f:N→D$f:\mathbb {N}\rightarrow \mathbb {D}$ be a multiplicative function. Under the merely necessary assumption that f$f$ is nonpretentious (in the sense of Granville and Soundararajan), we show that for any pair of distinct integer shifts h1,h2$h_1,h_2$ , the two‐point correlation 1x∑n⩽xf(n+h1)f¯(n+h2)$$\begin{equ...

Breiman's conjecture and normalized jumps of subordinators

We prove Breiman's conjecture under the first-moment assumption. Let $Y_1,Y_2,\ldots$ be iid nonnegative random variables with $\mathbb P\{Y_1>0\}>0$, normalized by their sum. If the resulting randomly weighted sum converges to a nondegenerate law for one fixed integrable, nonconstant mark distribution, then the tail o...
