Abstract:
By using an identity relating a sum to an integral, we obtain a family of identities for the averages M(X)=∑n≤Xμ(n) and m(X)=∑n≤Xμ(n)/n. Further, by choosing some specific families, we study two summatory functions related to the Möbius function, μ(n), namely ∑n≤Xμ(n)/ns and ∑n≤Xμ(n)/nslog(X/n), where s is a complex number and ℜs>0. We also explore some applications and examples when s is real. (joint work with O. Ramaré)
