%N Moebius function mu(n) defined for the Eisenstein integers.

%C Just like the original Moebius function over the integers, a(n) = 0 if n has a squared Eisenstein prime factor, otherwise (-1)^t if n is a product of an Eisenstein unit and t distinct Eisenstein prime factors.

%C Let w = (1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2, w' = (1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2. a(n) = 0 for n divisible by 3 since 3 = w'*(1 + w)^2 contains a squared factor. For rational primes p == 1 (mod 3), p is always factored as (x + y*w)(x + y*w'), x + y*w and x + y*w' are not associated so a(p) = (-1)*(-1) = 1.

%F a(n) = 0 if n is divisible by 3 or has a square prime factor, otherwise Product_{p divides n} (3 - 2*(p mod 3)) where the product is taken over the primes.

%F Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 0 if p = 3 or e > 1, a(p) = 1 if p == 1 (mod 3) and -1 if p == 2 (mod 3).

%F For squarefree n, a(n) = Legendre symbol (n, 3) = Kronecker symbol (-3, n) = A102283(n).

%e Let w = (1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2, w' = (1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2.

%e a(14) = -1 because 14 is factored as 2*(2 + w)*(2 + w') with three distinct Eisenstein prime factors.

%e a(55) = (-1)*(-1) = 1 because 55 = 5*11 where 5 and 11 are congruent to 2 mod 3 (thus being Eisenstein primes).
