Abstract
Let . Wigert's divisor function counts the number of representations of of the form with . Let denote the Dirichlet series of . While is essentially a well-known special case of the Euler-Zagier double zeta function, and hence well-studied, very little is known about for . We offer three new representations for for , one of which is an analogue of the Chowla-Selberg formula as well as of a formula of Atkinson. The meromorphicity of is also discussed. The special value is expressed in terms of an infinite series of Bessel functions and a generalized divisor function.
