We introduced the Liouville function here. The summatory function of f(n) is defined as
In this post, we examine the summatory function of the Liouville function.
Question
Prove that
Solution:-
Note that for n=pa where p is a prime number,
∑d|nλ(d) = a∑j=0λ(pj) = a∑j=0(-1)j
= 1⋅(1-(-1)a+1)1-(-1) = 1-(-1)a+12
= 1even(a) = {1ifais even0ifais odd ("Even indicator function")
Hence for n=pa11pa22...
= =
