-
A.
Möbius function
The Möbius function is a multiplicative arithmetic function in number theory that assigns values based on the prime factorization of integers and plays a central role in inversion formulas and the study of prime distribution.
-
B.
Liouville function
The Liouville function is a completely multiplicative arithmetic function that assigns values based on the parity of the total number of prime factors of an integer, playing a key role in analytic number theory and the study of prime distribution.
-
C.
Riemann zeta function
The Riemann zeta function is a complex-valued function central to analytic number theory, whose properties—especially the distribution of its zeros—are deeply connected to the distribution of prime numbers.
-
D.
Chebyshev functions
Chebyshev functions are arithmetic functions in number theory that encode information about the distribution of prime numbers and play a key role in analytic approaches to the prime number theorem.
-
E.
Ramanujan’s sum
Ramanujan’s sum is a number-theoretic function introduced by Srinivasa Ramanujan, expressing certain periodic arithmetic functions as finite trigonometric sums over primitive roots of unity.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
