We consider the behavior of the power series ${}_0\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{\mu }^2\left(n\right)z^n$ as z tends to $e\left(\beta \right)=e^{2\pi i\beta }$ along a radius of the unit circle. If β is irrational with irrationality exponent 2 then ${}_0\left(e\left(\beta \right)r\right)=O\left({(1-r)}^{-1/2-\epsilon }\right)$. Also we consider the cases of higher irrationality exponent. We prove that for each δ there exist irrational numbers β such that ${}_0\left(e\left(\beta \right)r\right)=\Omega \left({(1-r)}^{-1+\delta }\right)$.

Let $p\ge 3$ be a prime. Let $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $n\ge 1$, let ${\chi }_1,...,{\chi }_n$ be characters of conductor $d$ not divided by $p$ and let $\omega$ be the Teichmüller character. For all $i$ between $1$ and $n$, for all $j$ between $0$ and $(p-3)/2$, set$${\theta }_{i,j}=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{\chi }_i{\omega }^{2j+1}\hfill & \text{if}{\chi }_i\mathrm{is}\mathrm{odd};\hfill \\ {\chi }_i{\omega }^{2j}\hfill & \text{if}{\chi }_i\mathrm{is}\mathrm{even}.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$Let $K={\mathbb{Q}}_p({\chi }_1,...,{\chi }_n)$ and let $\pi$ be a prime of the valuation ring ${𝒪}_K$ of $K$. For all $i,j$ let $f(T,{\theta }_{i,j})$ be the Iwasawa series associated to ${\theta }_{i,j}$ and $\overline{f(T,{\theta }_{i,j})}$ its reduction modulo $\left(\pi \right)$. Finally let $\overline{{𝔽}_p}$ be an algebraic closure of ${𝔽}_p$. Our main result is that if the characters ${\chi }_i$ are all distinct modulo $\left(\pi \right)$, then $1$ and the series $\overline{f(T,{\theta }_{i,j})}$ are linearly independent over a certain...
