Dynamical generalizations of Chowla's conjecture on short averages

Source abstract

In 1965, Chowla conjectured that the signs of the Liouville function become asymptotically uncorrelated at any fixed collection of distinct shifts. In 2015, Matomäki, Radziwiłł and Tao proved an averaged form of Chowla's conjecture. In 2022, Lichtman proved a variant of this conjecture over primes on average. In the same year, Lichtman and Teräväinen proved the Hardy--Littlewood--Chowla conjecture on average. In this article, motivated by the recent work of Bergelson and Richter on the dynamical generalizations of the prime number theorem, we will establish the dynamical generalizations of these three results related to Chowla's conjecture. In the proofs, we will show a uniform pretentious-distance estimate on the prime Omega function. Then exponential sum estimates are used to establish the averaged shift invariance of the distributions related to the shifted sum of the prime Omega function.
