A multiplicative function is defined on the positive integers and its rule is completely determined by its values on prime powers, according with the prime factorization. A random multiplicative function is obtained by keeping the multiplicative rule and by assigning to each prime number a random variable.
In this talk I am going to show some classical and new results about the partial sums of a multiplicative function, and how the (unknown) mean behavior of these partial sums is closely related with the Riemann Hypothesis.
This is based on joint work with Vladas Sidoravicius.
