摘要
We develop a new approach to Mobius inversion by considering the spectral problem for certain symmetric, positive-definite matrices closely connected to the divisibility relation. This spectral problem appears to have significance for analytic number theory. We obtain a novel version of the second Mobius inversion formula, and in particular a new formula for the Mertens function. Computational evidence regarding the latter formula may throw some light on the Riemann Hypothesis.
