arithmetic functions; value distribution; finite Abelian groups
Summary:
This article deals with the value distribution of multiplicative prime-in\-de\-pendent arithmetic functions $(\alpha (n))$ with $\alpha (n)=1$ if $n$ is $N$-free ($N\ge2$ a fixed integer), $\alpha (n)>1$ else, and $\alpha (2^n)\to\infty$. An asymptotic result is established with an error term probably definitive on the basis of the present knowledge about the zeros of the zeta-function. Applications to the enumerative functions of Abelian groups and of semisimple rings of given finite order are discussed.
