On multiplicative functions on consecutive integers

Let f and g be multiplicative functions of modulus 1. Assume that \( {\lim_{x \to \infty }}\frac{1}{x}\left| {\sum\nolimits_{n \leqslant x} {f(n)} } \right| = A > 0 \) and \( {\lim_{x \to \infty }}\frac{1}{x}\left| {\sum\nolimits_{n \leqslant x} {g(n)} } \right| = 0 \). We prove that, under these conditions,

$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{1}{x}\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {f(n)g(n + 1) = 0.}$

Concerning the Liouville function λ, we find an upper estimate for \( \frac{1}{x}\left| {\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {\lambda (n)\lambda (n + 1)} } \right| \) under the unproved hypothesis that L(s, χ) have Siegel zeros for an infinite sequence of L-functions.
