Abstract TBA

In number theory, we often consider a generalization of integers called algebraic numbers. Their definition is rather elementary, but their classification is nothing but. Algebraic numbers come in families, and we can attach each family an invariant...

Fix a positive integer X and multi-sets of complex numbers  and  . We study the shifted convolution sum D  ,  ( X , 1 ) = ∑ n ≤ X τ  ( n ) τ  ( n + 1 ) , where τ  and τ  are shifted divisor functions. These sums naturally appear in the study...
