The Liouville version of the Goldbach conjecture is now fully proven and Lean verified!
Every positive even number greater than 2 is the sum of two positive numbers with Liouville value -1.

The Liouville version of the Goldbach conjecture is now fully proven and Lean verified!
Every positive even number greater than 2 is the sum of two positive numbers with Liouville value -1.

Goldbach's conjecture states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers.
Goldbach's conjecture for the Liouville function is a natural weakening of the famous conjecture, it just asks the summands to be products of an odd number of primes.

In 2018, a mathoverflow user asked this question:

In a paper from 2024 Alexander P. Mangerel proved this conjecture for all sufficiently large even integers under the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions.

esterday, Astra proved the unconditional conjecture for multiples of 4, building on the previous work by Mangerel.
Today, Astra proved the entire conjecture via elementary methods.
The proof is 8 pages long.

It seems every integer >=4, even or odd, is the sum of two integers with Liouville value -1. A simple computer search found no counterexamples within 10^6. Maybe you can solve this one?
