Let $\mathbb{Z}^2$ be the two-dimensional integer lattice. For an integer $k\geq 1$, a non-zero lattice point is $k$-free if the greatest common divisor of its coordinates is a $k$-free number. We consider the proportions of $k$-free and…

Suppose $a,~b$ are fixed algebraic numbers with $1\leq a<b$. Let $\Delta_{a,b}(x)$ be the error term for the number of lattice points in a two-dimensional area $h^ar^b\leq x $ with $h, r$ positive integers. In this paper, we establish an…

Suppose that $a$ and $b$ are positive integers subject to $(a,b)=1$. For $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, denote by $\tau_{a,b}(n;\ell_1,M_1,l_2,M_2)$ the asymmetric two--dimensional divisor function with congruence conditions, i.e., \begin{equation*}…

Let $\tau(n)$ denote the classical divisor function. In this paper, we consider the hyperbolic fractional sum of the divisor function defined by $$ T(x) = \sum_{n_1 n_2 \leqslant x} \tau\left( \left[ \frac{x}{n_1 n_2} \right] \right) =…

$ $Let $F$ be a multivariate function from a product set $\Sigma^n$ to an Abelian group $G$. A $k$-partition of $F$ with cost $\delta$ is a partition of the set of variables $\mathbf{V}$ into $k$ non-empty subsets $(\mathbf{X}_1, \dots,…

Let $\K$ be an algebraic number field of degree $d$ and discriminant $\Delta$ over $\Q$. Let $\A$ be an associative algebra over $\K$ given by structure constants such that $\A\cong M_n(\K)$ holds for some positive integer $n$. Suppose that…

In this paper we study the problem of the first moment of the Dedekind zeta function of a number field $K$ and improve the error term. As a ready generalization of our proof, we improve the error term in the Piltz divisor problem.

We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…

We introduce and study the notion of k-divisible elements in a non-commutative probability space. A k-divisible element is a (non-commutative) random variable whose n-th moment vanishes whenever n is not a multiple of k. First, we consider…

We obtain asymptotics with a power saving error term for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le X} d(n)e(n\alpha)|^sd\alpha$ for $s < 2$, where $d(n) = \sum_{d | n} 1$ is the divisor function. We also obtain such asymptotics for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le…

For a random variable $X$, we are interested in the blind extraction of its finest mutual independence pattern $\mu ( X )$. We introduce a specific kind of independence that we call dichotomic. If $\Delta ( X )$ stands for the set of all…

We give an asymptotic formula for the divisor sum $\sum_{c<n\leq N}\tau\left((n-b)(n-c)\right)$ for integers $b<c$ of the same parity. Interestingly, the coefficient of the main term does not depend on the discriminant as long as it is a…

For a fixed integer $k$, we define the multiplicative function \[D_{k,\omega}(n) := \frac{d(n)}{k^{\omega(n)}}, \]where $d(n)$ is the divisor function and $\omega (n)$ is the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$. The main purpose of…

This paper, first, we consider the Volterra integral equation for the remainder term in the asymptotic formula for the associated Euler totient function. Secondly, we solve the Volterra integral equation and we split the error term in the…

Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we connect the distribution of $k$-free numbers with the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function at nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$. Moreover, with additional assumptions, we prove the existence of a limiting…

Given a positive integer $n$ the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ equals the number of ordered $k$-tuples of positive integers whose product equals $n$. In this article we study the variance of sums of $d_k(n)$ in short intervals and…

We prove an asymptotic formula with power saving error term for a certain triple divisor sum.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…
