Abstract

We consider the random functions $S_{N}(z):=\sum _{n=1}^{N}z(n)$, where $z(n)$ is the completely multiplicative random function generated by independent Steinhaus variables $z(p)$. It is shown that $\mathbb{E}|S_{N}|\gg \sqrt{N}(\log N)^{-0.05616}$ and that $(\mathbb{E}|S_{N}|^{q})^{1/q}\gg _{q}\sqrt{N}(\log N)^{-0.07672}$ for all $q>0$.
