For $a/q\in\mathbb{Q}$ the Estermann function is defined as $D(s,a/q):=\sum_{n\geq1}d(n)n^{-s}\operatorname{e}(n\frac aq)$ if $\Re(s)>1$ and by meromorphic continuation otherwise. For $q$ prime, we compute the moments of $D(s,a/q)$ at the…

Let $3\leqslant k\leqslant9$ be a fixed integer, $p$ be a prime and $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. We use $\Delta(x)$ to denote the error term in the asymptotic formula of the summatory function of $d(n)$. The aim of this…
