Abstract
We introduce a new functional space U designed to contain all classical arithmetic functions (Mobius, von Mangoldt, Euler phi, divisor functions, Dirichlet characters, etc.). The norm of U combines a Hilbert-type component, based on square summability of Dirichlet coefficients for every s > 1, with a Banach component controlling logarithmic averages of partial sums. We prove that U is a complete Banach space which embeds continuously all standard Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series and allows natural actions of Dirichlet convolution and shift operators. This framework provides a unified analytic setting for classical and modern problems in multiplicative number theory.
