Pretentious distance between one and the Möbius function

ID: pretentious-distance-between-one-and-the-mobius-function

Because , the squared pretentious distance from one to the Möbius function is twice the reciprocal-prime sum. The Mertens second theorem therefore gives . In particular the distance diverges, illustrating that a multiplicative function can be far from the constant function even though both have unit-modulus prime values.
