A smooth summation of Ramanujan expansions
Abstract
We studied Ramanujan series , where is the well-known Ramanujan sum and the complex numbers , as N, are the Ramanujan coefficients; of course, we mean, implicitly, that the series converges pointwise, in all natural , as its partial sums converge in C, when . Motivated by our recent study of infinite and finite Euler products for the Ramanujan series, in which we assumed multiplicative, we look at a kind of (partial) smooth summations. These are , where the indices in means that all prime factors of are up to (fixed); then, we pass to the limit over . Notice that this kind of partial sums over smooth numbers (i.e., in , see the above) make up an infinite sum, themselves, P fixed, in general; however, our summands contain , that has a vertical limit, i.e. it's supported over indices N for which the adic valuations of, resp., and , namely , resp., satisfy and this is true ('s fixed). In other words, N C, here, is a finite sum, N, P fixed: we will call a 'smooth Ramanujan series' if and only if C, N. Notice a very important property : smooth Ramanujan series and Ramanujan series need not to be the same. We prove : smooth Ramanujan series converge under Wintner Assumption. (This is not necessarily true for Ramanujan series.) We apply this to correlations and to the Hardy--Littlewood "Twin Primes" Conjecture.
