Omega Theorems for The Twisted Divisor Function

Abstract

For a fixed θ0\theta\neq 0, we define the twisted divisor function τ(n,θ):=dndiθ . \tau(n, \theta):=\sum_{d\mid n}d^{i\theta}\ . In this article we consider the error term Δ(x)\Delta(x) in the following asymptotic formula nxτ(n,θ)2=ω1(θ)xlogx+ω2(θ)xcos(θlogx)+ω3(θ)x+Δ(x), \sum_{n\leq x}^*|\tau(n, \theta)|^2=\omega_1(\theta)x\log x + \omega_2(\theta)x\cos(\theta\log x) +\omega_3(\theta)x + \Delta(x), where ωi(θ)\omega_i(\theta) for i=1,2,3i=1, 2, 3 are constants depending only on θ\theta. We obtain Δ(T)=Ω(Tα(T)) where α(T)=38c(logT)1/8 and c>0,\Delta(T)=\Omega\left(T^{\alpha(T)}\right) \text{ where } \alpha(T) =\frac{3}{8}-\frac{c}{(\log T)^{1/8}} \text{ and } c>0, along with an Ω\Omega-bound for the Lebesgue measure of the set of points where the above estimate holds.
