The binary corrected Elliott conjecture for ordinary averages
For multiplicative f1,f2:N→{∣z∣≤1}, at least one satisfying inf∣t∣≤ND(fj,χnit;N)→∞ for every fixed Dirichlet character, and fixed distinct h1,h2≥0: N1∑n≤Nf1(n+h1)f2(n+h2)→0. Also for fixed nonproportional affine forms and in fixed residue classes. Functions may be complex and need not be completely multiplicative. Qualitative only, no rate; the k-point Elliott conjecture for k≥3 is not addressed.
