A weighted divisor problem and exponential sum

Number Theory 2025-07-03 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a weighted divisor problem involving the exponential sum of D(1)(n)D_{(1)}(n), the nnth coefficient in the Dirichlet series expansion of ζ(s)2\zeta'(s)^2. We establish a truncated Vorono\"{i} type formula for the error term of nxD(1)(n)e(nh/k)\sum_{n\leq x}D_{(1)}(n)e(nh/k), analogous to the results obtained by Jutila. Utilizing this truncated formula, we derive a mean square estimate of the error term. In addition, we study the associated Riesz sum and the corresponding error term, along with its mean square estimate.
