The function τ (n), defined by the equationis considered by Ramanujan* in his memoir “On certain arithmetical functions”The associated Diriċhlet seriesconverges when σ = > σ0, for a sufficiently large positive σ0.

Let σs(n) denote the sum of the sth powers of the divisors of n,and let , where ζ(s) is the Riemann ζfunction. Ramanujan, in his paper “On certain arithmetical functions*”, proves that, ifandthen , whenever r and s are odd positive integers. He conjectures that the error term on the right of (1·1) is of the formfor every ε > 0, and that it is not of the form . He further conjectures thatfor all positive values of r and s; and this conjecture has recently been proved to be correct.

1. In his paper ‘On certain arithmetical functions' Ramanujan (23) considers the function τ(n) defined by the expansionThis function appears in the discussion of an asymptotic formula for the functionand also in Ramanujan's formula for the number of representations of an integer as the sum of 24 squares. It is also of interest as the coefficient in the expansion of g(z), which plays an important part in the theory of modular functions.

If f is a suitable meromorphic function, then by a classical technique in the calculus of residues, one can evaluate in closed form series of the form,Suppose that a(n) is an arithmetical function. It is natural to ask whether or not one can evaluate by contour integration(1.1)where f belongs to a suitable class of meromorphic functions. We shall give here only a partial answer for a very limited class of arithmetical functions.

In his remarkable memoir ‘On certain arithmetical functions’* Ramanujan considers, among other functions of much interest, the. function τ(n) defined byThis function is important in the theory of the representation of a number as a sum of 24 squares. In factwhere r24 (n) is the number of representations;where σs(n) is the sum of the 8th powers of the divisors of n, and the sum of those of its odd divisors; and

Let be a cusp form of weight 2k and trivial character for Γ0(N), where N is prime, which is orthogonal with respect to the Petersson product to all forms g(dz), where g is of level L < N, dL\N. Let K be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant — D where the prime N is inert. Denote by ∊ the quadratic character of determined by ∊(p) = (—D/p) for primes p not dividing D. For A an ideal class in K, let rA(m) be the number of integral ideals of norm m in A. We will be interested in the Dirichlet series L(f,A,s) defined by

AbstractFor two real characters ψ,ψ′ of conductor dividing 8 define where $\chi _d = (\frac {d}{.})$ and the subscript 2 denotes the fact that the Euler factor at 2 has been removed. These double Dirichlet series can be extended to $\Bbb {C}^2$ possessing a group of functional equations isomorphic to D12. The convexity bound for Z(s,w;ψ,ψ′) is |sw(s+w)|1/4+ε for ℜs=ℜw=1/2. It is proved that Moreover, the following mean square Lindelöf-type bound holds: for any Y1,Y2≥1.
