Two explicit divisor sums

Number Theory 2021-02-02 v1

Abstract

We give explicit bounds on sums of d(n)2d(n)^2 and d4(n)d_4(n), where d(n)d(n) is the number of divisors of nn and d4(n)d_4(n) is the number of ways of writing nn as a product of four numbers. In doing so we make a slight improvement on the upper bound for class numbers of quartic number fields.
