Numbers Theory Seminar

Guest: Do Nhat Tan Vo

TOPIC:  Additive Sums of Shifted Ternary Divisor Function

Date:  Wednesday, Nov. 19

Time:  1:30 - 2:30 p.m.

Location:  Markin Hall M1060

 

Fix a positive integer X and multi-sets of complex numbers I and J. We study the shifted convolution sum

 

where  and   are shifted divisor functions. These sums naturally appear in the study of higher moments of the Riemann zeta function and additive problems in number theory. We review known results on 2k-th moment of the Riemann zeta function and correlation sums associated with generalized divisor function. Assuming a conjectural bound on the averaged level of distribution of  in arithmetic progressions, we present an asymptotic formula for  with explicit main terms and power-saving error estimates.

 

EVERYONE WELCOME
