Abstract

An arithmetical function ff is said to admit a \emph{Cohen-Ramanujan expansion} f(n):=rf^(r)crs(n)f(n) := \sum\limits_{r}\widehat{f}(r)c_r^s(n), if the series on the right hand side converges for suitable complex numbers f^(r)\widehat{f}(r). Here crs(n)c_r^s(n) denotes the Cohen-Ramanujan sum defined by E. Cohen. We deduce here a Cohen-Ramanujan expansion for the Jordan totient function Jk(n)J_k(n). Further, we give an an asymptotic formula for the sum nNJa(n)naJb(n+h)(n+h)b\sum\limits_{n \leq N} \frac{J_a(n)}{n^a} \frac{J_b(n+h)}{(n+h)^b} using the expansion we derive.
