In [arXiv:2107.01437], the authors studied the mean-square of certain sums of the divisor function $d_k(f)$ over the function field $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ in the limit as $q \to \infty$ and related these sums to integrals over the ensemble of…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

Let $ \mathbb{F}_q[T]$\, be the ring of polynomials over a finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $. Let $ g: \mathbb{F}_q[T] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a multiplicative function such that for any irreducible polynomial $ P $ over $ \mathbb{F}_q $…

We compute the variances of sums in arithmetic progressions of generalised k-divisor functions related to certain L-functions in $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, in the limit as $q\to\infty$. This is achieved by making use of recently established…

In [arXiv:2212.04969], the authors stated some conjectures on the variance of certain sums of the divisor function $d_k(n)$ over number fields, which were inspired by analogous results over function fields proven in [arXiv:2107.01437].…

Several results are obtained concerning the function $\Delta_k(x)$, which represents the error term in the general Dirichlet divisor problem. These include the estimates for the integral of this function, as well as for the corresponding…

We provide upper bounds for the mean square integral $$ \int_X^{2X}(\Delta_k(x+h) - \Delta_k(x))^2 dx \qquad(h = h(X)\gg1, h = o(x) {\roman{as}} X\to\infty) $$ where $h$ lies in a suitable range. For $k\ge2$ a fixed integer, $\Delta_k(x)$…

Consider the number of integers in a short interval that can be represented as a sum of two squares. What is an estimate for the variance of these counts over random short intervals? We resolve a function field variant of this problem in…

We study the variance of sums of the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture…

We consider the variance of sums of arithmetic functions over random short intervals in the function field setting. Based on the analogy between factorizations of random elements of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ into primes and the factorizations of…

The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{\alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(n) = \sum_{d|n} d^{\alpha}$, for all integers $n \geq 1$ and fixed real-valued…

For an odd integer $d > 1$ and a finite Galois extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, G. L\"{u} and Z. Yang \cite{lu3} obtained an asymptotic formula for the mean values of the divisor function for $K$ over square integers. In this…

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 study the variance of sums of the indicator function of square-full polynomials in both arithmetic progressions and short intervals. Our work is in the context of the ring $F_{q}[T]$ of polynomials over a finite field $F_{q}$ of $q$…

In 1920, P. A. MacMahon generalized the (classical) notion of divisor sums by relating it to the theory of partitions of integers. In this paper, we extend the idea of MacMahon. In doing so we reveal a wealth of divisibility theorems and…
