Abstract

We prove a sharp version of Halász's theorem on sums ∑_{n≤χ} ƒ(n) of multiplicative functions ƒ with |ƒ(n)| ≤ 1. Our proof avoids the "average of averages" and "integration over α" manoeuvres that are present in many of the existing arguments. Instead, motivated by the circle method, we express ∑_{n≤χ} ƒ(n) as a triple Dirichlet convolution and apply Perron's formula.
