In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of sums of functions of the increments of a given semimartingale, taken along a regular grid whose mesh goes to 0. The function of the $i$th increment may depend on the current time, and also…

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…

Divisor functions have attracted the attention of number theorists from Dirichlet to the present day. Here we consider associated divisor functions $c_j^{(r)}(n)$ which for non-negative integers $j, r$ count the number of ways of…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n \leq N} d(n^2 - 1)$, where $d(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of $n$. During the course of our proof, we also furnish an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{d \leq N} g(d)$, where…

It is well known, that Fr\'echet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates depending on curvature. Even for distributions featuring standard asymptotic rates, there are non-Euclidean effects, altering finite…
