Moment estimates for the exponential sum with higher divisor functions

Number Theory 2020-01-03 v2

Abstract

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity 01nXτk(n)e(nα)dα\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha where τk(n)=d1dk=n1\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc bounds for the exponential sum with τk\tau_k, and asymptotics for high moments of the Dirichlet kernel.
