Problem Statement

Prove that the set of rational-valued, multiplicative arithmetical functions and the set of complex rational-valued, multiplicative arithmetical functions form isomorphic groups with the convolution operation fg f \circ g defined by (fg)(n)=dnf(d)g(nd).{ (f \circ g)(n)= %Error. "displatmath" is a bad command. \sum_{d|n} f(d)g(\frac nd}). (We call a complex number <spanclass=latexitalic>complexrational</span> <span class='latex-italic'>complex rational</span>, if its real and imaginary parts are both rational.) B. Csakany
