Abstract
For every positive integer , Sita Ramaiah's identity states that \medskip \begin{equation*} \sum_{a_1, a_2, a_1+a_2 \in (\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^*} \gcd(a_1+a_2-1,n) = \phi_2(n)\sigma_0(n) \; \text{ where } \; \phi_2(n)= \sum_{a_1, a_2, a_1+a_2 \in (\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^*} 1, \end{equation*} \medskip where is the multiplicative group of units of the ring and . \smallskip This identity can also be viewed as a generalization of Menon's identity. In this article, we generalize this identity to an algebraic number field involving a Dirichlet character . Our result is a further generalization of a recent result in \cite{wj} and \cite{sury}.
