In this paper, we derive an exact equation involving Merten's function, which leads to a promising new technique for obtaining a nontrivial bound for $M(x)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-05T08:13:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mertens function", "implications", "square free integers", "equivalent statements", "exact equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
