On correlations of certain multiplicative functions

Abstract

In this paper, we study sums of shifted products $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} F(n) G(n-h)$ for any $|h| \leq x/2$ and arithmetic functions $F=f*1$ and $G=g*1$, with $f$ and $g$ small. We obtain asymptotic formula for different orders of magnitude of $f$ and $g$. We also provide asymptotic formula for sums of the type $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} \mu^2(n) G(n-h)$, where $G=g*1$ and $g$ is small. For small order of magnitudes of $f$ and $g$, we improve the error terms and make them independent of $h$.
