We define the Möbius function as follows :
μ:N∗⟶{−1,0,1},μ(n)={1si n=1,0si ∃p∈P, p2∣n,(−1)ksi n=p1p2⋯pk,p1,…,pk∈P distinct.\mu : \mathbb{N}^* \longrightarrow \{-1,0,1\},\qquad \mu(n)= \begin{cases} 1 & \text{si } n=1,\\ 0 & \text{si } \exists p\in\mathbb{P},\ p^2\mid n,\\ (-1)^k & \text{si } n=p_1p_2\cdots p_k,\quad p_1,\ldots,p_k\in\mathbb{P}\text{ distinct}. \end{cases}Show that ∀n∈N, ∃k∈N\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \: \exists k \in \mathbb{N} such that
∑d∣nd≥1μ(n)2=2k(n)\displaystyle\sum_{\substack {d|n \\ d \geq 1} } \mu(n)^{2} =2^{k(n)}and explain what is k in terms of n.
