Finite and infinite Euler products of Ramanujan expansions
Abstract
All the NC having Ramanujan expansion (here is the Ramanujan sum) pointwise converging in N, with NC a multiplicative function, may be factored into two Ramanujan expansions, one of which is a finite Euler product : details in our Main Theorem. This is a general result, with unexpected and useful consequences, esp., for the Ramanujan expansion of null-function, say 0. The Main Theorem doesn't require other analytic assumptions, as pointwise convergence suffices; this depends on a general property of Euler factors (the factors in Euler products) for the general term ; namely, once fixed N (and prime ), the Euler factor of (involving all powers) has a finite number of non-vanishing terms (depending on ) : see our Main Lemma. In case we also add some other hypotheses, like the absolute convergence, we get more classical Euler products: the infinite ones. For the Ramanujan expansion of 0 this strong hypothesis makes the class of 0 Ramanujan coefficients much smaller; also excluding Ramanujan's and Hardy's ( is Euler's totient function). Our Main Theorem, instead, suffices to classify all the multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients for 0, so we also announce and (partially) prove this Classification.
