In this short note, we give a new Menon-type identity involving the sum of element orders and the sum of cyclic subgroup orders of a finite group. It is based on applying the weighted form of Burnside's lemma to a natural group action.

We prove a novel four-variable character sum identity which serves as a twisted, non-archimedean counterpart to Weber's integrals for Bessel functions. Using this identity and ideas from Venkatesh's thesis, we present a new, spectral proof…

We initiate the study of certain families of $L$-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values…

In the present paper, we introduce a multiple Ramanujan sum for arithmetic functions, which gives a multivariable extension of the generalized Ramanujan sum studied by D. R. Anderson and T. M. Apostol. We then find fundamental arithmetic…

An identity by Chaundy and Bullard writes 1/(1-x)^n (n=1,2,...) as a sum of two truncated binomial series. This identity was rediscovered many times. Notably, a special case was rediscovered by I. Daubechies, while she was setting up the…

We prove that the average size of a mixed character sum $$\sum_{1\le n \le x} \chi(n) e(n\theta) w(n/x)$$ (for a suitable smooth function $w$) is on the order of $\sqrt{x}$ for all irrational real $\theta$ satisfying a weak Diophantine…

Let $k$ be a positive real number, and let $M_k(q)$ be the sum of $|L(\tfrac12,\chi)|^{2k}$ over all non-principal characters to a given modulus $q$. We prove that $M_k(q)\ll_k \phi(q)(\log q)^{k^2}$ whenever $k$ is the reciprocal $n^{-1}$…

We use Rankin-Cohen brackets for modular forms and quasimodular forms to give a different proof of the results obtained by D. Lanphier and D. Niebur on the van der Pol type identities for the Ramanujan's tau function. As consequences we…

In this paper we obtain a new fully explicit constant for the P\'olya-Vinogradov inequality for primitive characters. Given a primitive character $\chi$ modulo $q$, we prove the following upper bound \begin{align*} \left| \sum_{1 \le n\le…

Estimating averages of Dirichlet convolutions $1 \ast \chi$, for some real Dirichlet character $\chi$ of fixed modulus, over the sparse set of values of binary forms defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ has been the focus of extensive investigations…

The discrete Fourier transform of the greatest common divisor is a multiplicative function that generalises both the gcd-sum function and Euler's totient function. On the one hand it is the Dirichlet convolution of the identity with…
