Short history of conjecture L(n) <= 0 for all n >= 2 by Deborah Tepper Haimo, where L(n) is the summatory Liouville function A002819(n). George Polya conjectured 1919 that L(n) <= 0 for all n >= 2. The conjecture was generally deemed true for nearly 40 years, until 1958, when C. B. Haselgrove proved that L(n) > 0 for infinitely many n. In 1962, R. S. Lehman found that L(906180359) = 1 and in 1980, M. Tanaka discovered that the smallest counterexample of the Polya conjecture occurs when n = 906150257.
