Certain weighted averages of generalized Ramanujan sums (Q1694380)

Eckford Cohen's generalization of the Ramanujan sums is defined as follows. If \(k,s\in {\mathbb N}\), \(j\in {\mathbb Z}\), then let \[ c_k^{(s)}(j)= \sum_{\substack{1\le m\le k^s \\ (m,k^s)_s=1}} e^{2\pi i j m/k^s}, \] where \((a,b)_s\) stands for the greatest common s-th power divisor of \(a\) and \(b\). If \(s=1\), then \(c_k^{(1)}(j)=c_k(j)\) are the classical Ramanujan sums. For every \(s\in {\mathbb N}\) one has \[ c_k^{(s)}(j)= \sum_{\substack{d^s \mid j\\ d\mid k}} d^s \mu(k/d), \] where \(\mu\) is the Möbius function. Hence \(c_k^{(s)}(j)\) is integer valued and has properties similar to the Ramanujan sums \(c_k(j)\). The reviewer [Ramanujan J. 35, No. 1, 149--156 (2014; Zbl 1322.11009)] established identities for certain weighted averages of the classical Ramanujan sums, with weights concerning logarithms, values of arithmetic functions for gcd's, the Gamma function \(\Gamma\), the Bernoulli polynomials \(B_m\) and binomial coefficients. In the present paper the author generalizes these identities to the Ramanujan sums \(c_k^{(s)}(j)\). He proves, among others, the following identities: \[ \frac1{J_s(k)} \sum_{j=1}^{k^s} (\log \Gamma(j/k^s)) c_k^{(s)}(j) = \frac{s}{2} \sum_{p\mid k} \frac{\log p }{p^s-1} - \frac{\log 2\pi}{2}, \] \[ \frac1{k^s} \sum_{j=0}^{k^s-1} B_m(j/k^s) c_k^{(s)}(j) = \frac{B_m}{k^{sm}} J_{sm}(k), \] where \(s,k,m\in {\mathbb N}\), \(J_s\) is the Jordan function of order \(s\) and \(B_m\) are the Bernoulli numbers. Reviewer's remark: There are some misprints in the paper, also in the first two formulas of this review.
