On Euler's example of a completely multiplicative function with sum 0
Abstract
Euler wrote a formula expressing that l(n)/n is a completely multiplicative function with sum 0 (a CMO function) , where l(n) is the completely multiplicative function equal to -1 on the prime numbers (the Liouville function). We extend this formula to Beurling generalized numbers, using a result of Diamond. As an application we show how to construct a CMO function carried by a set of integers whose counting function is of the form D xa (1+o(1) ) for any a between 0 and 1.
