Dirichlet series associated to representation numbers of ideals in real quadratic number fields

Number Theory 2023-04-03 v2

Abstract

In this rather computational paper, we determine certain representation numbers of ideals in real quadratic number fields explicitly in order to obtain a representation of the associated Dirichlet series in terms of Dirichlet L-functions and a generalized divisor sum. A direct and important consequence is that the Dirichlet series has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane and a simple pole at s=2s=2 whose residue can be made explicit in terms of the Dirichlet L-functions and the generalized divisor sum.
