contents Let $λ$ be the Liouville function, defined as $λ(n) := (-1)^{Ω(n)}$ where $Ω(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity. In 2021, Helfgott and Radziwiłł proved that $$\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n} λ(n) λ(n+1) \ll \frac{\log x}{(\log \log x)^{1/2}},$$improving earlier results by Tao and Teräväinen. We prove that $$\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n} λ(n) λ(n+1) \ll (\log x)^{1-c}$$for some absolute constant $c>0$. This appears to be best possible with current methods.
