Abstract

If Δ(x):=nxcnCx \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}c_n - Cx denotes the error term in the classical Rankin-Selberg problem, then it is proved that 0XΔ4(x)\dxϵX3+ϵ,0XΔ14(x)\dxϵX11/2+ϵ, \int_0^X \Delta^4(x)\d x \ll_\epsilon X^{3+\epsilon},\quad \int_0^X \Delta_1^4(x)\d x \ll_\epsilon X^{11/2+\epsilon}, where Δ1(x)=0xΔ(u)du\Delta_1(x) = \int_0^x\Delta(u) du. The latter bound is, up to `ϵ\epsilon', best possible.
