Convergence of Ramanujan expansions, I [Multiplicativity on Ramanujan clouds]
Abstract
We call the 'Ramanujan series', of coefficient NC, where is the well-known Ramanujan sum. We study the convergence of this series (a preliminary step, to study Ramanujan expansions and define a 'Ramanujan coefficient' when converges pointwise, in all natural . Then, NC is well defined ('w-d'). The 'Ramanujan cloud' of a fixed NC is {}. (See the Appendix.) We study in detail the multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients : their subset is called the 'multiplicative Ramanujan cloud', . Our first main result, the "Finiteness convergence Theorem", for multiplicative, among other properties equivalent to " well defined", reduces the convergence test to a finite set, i.e., w-d is equivalent to: converges for all dividing N, that we call the "Ramanujan conductor". Our second main result, the "Finite Euler product explicit formula", for multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients , writes as a finite Euler product; thus, is a semi-multiplicative function (following Rearick definition) and this product is the Selberg factorization for . In particular, we have: converges absolutely, being finite (of length depending on non-zero adic valuations of ). Our third main result, called the "Multiplicative Ramanujan clouds", studies the important subsets of ; also giving, for all multiplicative , the 'canonical Ramanujan coefficient' , proving: Any multiplicative has a finite Ramanujan expansion with multiplicative coefficients.
