Multiplicative functions commutable with binary quadratic forms x2 xy + y2

Abstract

If a multiplicative function f is commutable with a quadratic form x2+xy+y2, i.e., \[ f(x2+xy+y2) = f(x)2 + f(x)\,f(y) + f(y)2, \] then f is the identity function. In other hand, if f is commutable with a quadratic form x2-xy+y2, then f is one of three kinds of functions: the identity function, the constant function, and an indicator function for N pN with a prime p.
