Multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients of null-function
Abstract
The null-function , N, has Ramanujan expansions: (where Ramanujan sum), given by Ramanujan, and , given by Hardy ( Euler's totient function). Both converge pointwise (not absolutely) in N. A N C is called a Ramanujan coefficient, abbrev. R.c., iff (if and only if) converges in all N; given N C, we call , the set of its R.c.s, the Ramanujan cloud of . Our Main Theorem in arxiv:1910.14640, for Ramanujan expansions and finite Euler products, implies a complete Classification for multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients of . Ramanujan's is a normal arithmetic function , i.e., multiplicative with on all primes ; while Hardy's is a sporadic , namely multiplicative, for a finite set of , but there's no with on all integers (Hardy's has iff ). The N C multiplicative, such that there's at least a prime with , on all , are defined to be exotic. This definition completes the cases for multiplicative Ramanujan coefficients. The exotic ones are a kind of new phenomenon in the cloud (i.e., ): exotic Ramanujan coefficients represent only with a convergence hypothesis. The not exotic, apart from the convergence hypothesis, require in addition for normal , while sporadic need , product of all making . We give many examples of R.c.s ; we also prove that the only with absolute convergence are the exotic ones; actually, these generalize to the weakly exotic, not necessarily multiplicative.
