On certain unbounded multiplicative functions in short intervals.

Recently, Mangerel extended the Matomäki–Radziwiłł theorem to a large collection of unbounded multiplicative functions in typical short intervals. In this paper, we combine Mangerel's result with Halász-type result recently established by Granville, Harper and Soundararajan to consider the distribution of a class of multiplicative functions in short intervals. First, we prove cancellation in the sum of the coefficients of the standard L-function of an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation of GL m over Q with unitary central character in typical intervals of length h (log X) c with h = h (X) → ∞ and some constant c > 0 (under Vinogradov–Korobov zero-free region and GRC). Then we also establish a non-trivial bound for the product of divisor-bounded multiplicative functions with the Liouville function in arithmetic progressions over typical short intervals.
