# ya(n) failed, what about ya_2(n).

view my set. Lets recall $$Aa(n)=\begin{cases} 1&,\text{if n is prime}\\0&,\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$$.\ we define a new function: $ya_2(n)=(Aa*|\mu|)(n)=\sum_{p|n} |\mu(n/p)|$ We again make 3 cases

1.n is square free. we easily have $$ya_2(n)=\omega(n)|\mu(n)|$$

2.$$n=p_1p_2p_3.....p_k^2$$. in that case möbius will be zero everywhere except prime divisor bieng $$p_k$$ in which case it will becom |-1|=1. so the summation will be $$ya_2(n)=1$$

1. $$ya_2(n)=0$$ otherwise.

more formally $ya_2(n)=\begin{cases} \omega(n)|\mu(n)|&,\text{n is square free}\\1 &, \text{n has one squared prime factor}\\0 &,\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$ yes! this is great actually. convoluting both sides with $$\lambda$$ we have $Aa=ya_2*\lambda$ $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{Aa(n)}{n^s}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{ya_2(n)}{n^s}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{\lambda(n)}{n^s}$ $P(s)=\dfrac{\zeta(2s)}{\zeta(s)}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{ya_2(n)}{n^s}$ We will compute $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{Aa(n)}{n^s}$$ in the next note.

dirichlet series and dirichlet convolution used here.

Sort by:

Since these two functions are so similar, I'm guessing we will run into the same problem if we don't change the method we are using.

Here's what I can get using previous method (in part 2)

$\sum _{n=1}^{ \infty}\frac{ya_2\left(n\right)}{n^s}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|\omega(n)}{n^s}+\sum _{p\ \text{ prime}}^{ }\sum _{p\not\mid n}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{p^{2s}n^s}$

$\sum _{p\ \text{ prime}}^{ }\sum _{p\not\mid n}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{p^{2s}n^s}=\frac{\zeta(s)}{\zeta(2s)}\left(P\left(s\right)-\sum _p^{ }\frac{1}{p^s+1}\right) **$

For the second sum, I suggest trying to evaluate:

$\sum _{p\ \text{ prime}}^{ }\sum _{p\not\mid n}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{p^{2s}n^s}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{n^s}\sum_{p\mid n}\frac{1}{p^s}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{n^s}\sum_{p\not\mid n}\frac{1}{p^{2s}}**$

Also from methods in part 2,

$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{n^s}\sum_{p\mid n}\frac{1}{p^s}=\frac{P(2s)\zeta(s)}{\zeta(2s)}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|}{n^s}\sum_{p\mid n}\frac{1}{p^{2s}}$

Those with $$**$$ have been verified numerically.

For the last equation, I am not sure if it matches numerically but it most probably is. · 12 months ago

The second part was rather easy. my main concern is the first. i have found that $\omega|\mu|*1=\dfrac{\omega (|\mu|*1)}{2}$ which is kind of cool. · 12 months ago

I'm getting

$\omega|\mu|*1(n)=\sum_{k=0}^{\omega(n)}k\left( \begin{matrix}\omega(n) \\ k \end{matrix} \right) =2^{\omega(n)-1}\omega(n)$

Going by the same logic in the second note,

$\omega|\mu|*\mu(n)=\sum_{k=0}^{\omega(n)}k*(-1)^{\omega(n)-k}\left( \begin{matrix}\omega(n) \\ k \end{matrix} \right)=\begin{cases} 1 \text{ if }n=p^a \\ 0 \text{ otherwise} \end{cases}$

Assuming what I did above is correct, I should get:

$\frac{1}{\zeta(s)}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|\mu(n)|\omega(n)}{n^s}=\sum_p\frac{1}{p^s-1}$

Again, the working above has not been verified numerically.

EDIT: Oh yeah, $$|\mu|*1=2^{\omega(n)}$$

EDIT again: Also, using the fact that

$\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{1}{x-1}-\frac{2}{x^2-1}$

$\sum_p\frac{1}{p^s+1}=\sum_p\frac{1}{p^s-1}-\sum_p\frac{2}{p^{2s}-1}$ · 12 months ago

how do you always find a good function to convolute with! Lets see evaluating this $\omega|\mu|=L*1$ where L is the function you defined. so: $\sum_{n≥1} \dfrac{\omega|\mu|}{n^s}=\zeta(s)\sum_{prime} \dfrac{1}{p^s-1}$ Edit didnt see your edit. · 12 months ago

Ah well Im stuck... · 12 months ago

I think after evaluating we will get $P(s)=P(s)$ again. · 12 months ago

I think so too, hopefully we don't · 12 months ago

but something interesting is that $D(L;s)=\sum_p \dfrac{1}{p^s-1}$ and $L=\omega|\mu|*\mu=\omega\mu*1$ i think my target changed from finding an equation of primezeta to $$D(L;s)$$ after the second note. · 12 months ago
