Connected components of complex divisor functions

Abstract: For any complex number

c

, define the divisor function

s i g m a_{c} c o l o n m a t h b b N o m a t h b b C

by

d i s p l a y s t y l e s i g m a_{c} (n) = s u m_{d m i d n} d^{c}

. Let

o v e r l i n e s i g m a_{c} (m a t h b b N)

denote the topological closure of the range of

s i g m a_{c}

. Extending previous work of the current author and Sanna, we prove that

o v e r l i n e s i g m a_{c} (m a t h b b N)

has nonempty interior and has finitely many connected components if

R e (c) l e q 0

and

c e q 0

. We end with some open problems.
