Abstract

Let d(n;r1,q1,r2,q2)d(n; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2) be the number of factorization n=n1n2n=n_1n_2 satisfying niri(modqi)n_i\equiv r_i\pmod{q_i} (i=1,2i=1,2) and Δ(x;r1,q1,r2,q2)\Delta(x; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2) be the error term of the summatory function of d(n;r1,q1,r2,q2)d(n; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2) with x(q1q2)1+ε,1riqix\geq (q_1q_2)^{1+\varepsilon}, 1\leq r_i\leq q_i, and (ri,qi)=1(r_i, q_i)=1 (i=1,2i=1, 2). We study the power moments and sign changes of Δ(x;r1,q1,r2,q2)\Delta(x; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2), and prove that for a sufficiently large constant CC, Δ(q1q2x;r1,q1,r2,q2)\Delta(q_1q_2x; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2) changes sign in the interval [T,T+CT][T,T+C\sqrt{T}] for any large TT. Meanwhile, we show that for a small constant cc', there exist infinitely many subintervals of length cTlog7Tc'\sqrt{T}\log^{-7}T in [T,2T][T,2T] where ±Δ(q1q2x;r1,q1,r2,q2)>c5x14\pm \Delta(q_1q_2x; r_1, q_1, r_2, q_2)> c_5x^\frac{1}{4} always holds.
