It is known that there exists certain randomness in the values of the Moebius function. It is widely believed that this randomness predicts significant cancellations in the summation of the Moebius function times any 'reasonable' sequence. This rather vague principle is known as an instance of the 'Moebius randomness principle'. Sarnak made this principle precise by identifying the notion 'reasonable' as deterministic. More precisely, Sarnak's Moebius Disjointness Conjecture predicts the disjointness of the Moebius function from any arithmetic functions realized in any topological dynamical systems of zero topological entropy. In this talk, I will firstly introduce some background and progress on this conjecture. Secondly, I will talk about some of my work on this. Thirdly, I will talk some related problems to this conjecture.
