The sum of divisors of a quadratic form

Abstract

We study the sum of divisors of the quadratic form m12+m22+m32m_1^2+m_2^2+m_3^2. Let S3(X)=1m1,m2,m3Xτ(m12+m22+m32).S_3(X)=\sum_{1\le m_1,m_2,m_3\le X}\tau(m_1^2+m_2^2+m_3^2). We obtain the asymptotic formula S3(X)=C1X3logX+C2X3+O(X2log7X),S_3(X)=C_1X^3\log X+ C_2X^3+O(X^2\log^7 X), where C1,C2C_1,C_2 are two constants. This improves upon the error term Oε(X8/3+ε)O_\varepsilon(X^{8/3+\varepsilon}) obtained by Guo and Zhai.
