Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to study an analogue of the generalized divisor function in a number field K\mathbb{K}, namely, σK,α(n)\sigma_{\mathbb{K},\alpha}(n). The Dirichlet series associated to this function is ζK(s)ζK(sα)\zeta_{\mathbb{K}}(s)\zeta_{\mathbb{K}}(s-\alpha). We give an expression for the Riesz sum associated to σK,α(n),\sigma_{\mathbb{K},\alpha}(n), and also extend the validity of this formula by using convergence theorems. As a special case, when K=Q\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{Q}, the Riesz sum formula for the generalized divisor function is obtained, which, in turn, for α=0\alpha=0, gives the Vorono\"{\i} summation formula associated to the divisor counting function d(n)d(n). We also obtain a big OO-estimate for the Riesz sum associated to σK,α(n)\sigma_{\mathbb{K},\alpha}(n).
