We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment (up to height $T$) of the Riemann zeta function with two shifts. The case we deal with is where the real parts of the shifts are very close to zero and the imaginary parts can grow up to…

We continue our study of convolution sums of two arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$, of the form $\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h)$, in the context of heuristic asymptotic formul\ae. Here, the integer $h\ge 0$ is called, as usual, the {\it shift}…

Let $\beta$ be a positive integer. A generalization of the Ramanujan sum due to Cohen is given by \begin{align} c_{q,\beta }(n) := \sum\limits_{{{(h,{q^\beta })}_\beta } = 1} {{e^{2\pi inh/{q^\beta }}}}, \nonumber \end{align} where $h$…

Cohen-Ramanujan sum, denoted by $c_r^s(n)$, is an exponential sum similar to the Ramanujan sum $c_r(n):=\sum\limits_{\substack{h=1\\{(h,r)=1}}}^{r}e^{\frac{2\pi i n h}{r}}$. An arithmetical function $f$ is said to admit a Cohen-Ramanujan…
