Mean values of multivariable multiplicative functions and applications to the average number of cyclic subgroups and multivariable averages associated with the LCM function (Q2116764)

The authors analyse multiple zeta functions and derive precise asymptotic formulas for the average of multivariable multiplicative functions. The following formula is typical result of the paper. Let \(f:\mathbb{N}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+\) be a nonnegative multivariable multiplicative function satisfying suitable assumptions. For such function there exist a polynomial \(Q\) and a positive constant \(\mu\) such that \[ \sum_{\substack{(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_n)\in \mathbb{N}^n, \\ \max m_i\leqslant x}}f(m_1,m_2,\ldots, m_n)=x^{\|c\|_1}Q(\log x)+O\Big(x^{\|c\|_1-\mu}\Big), \] where \(\|c\|_1=|c_1|+|c_2|+\ldots +|c_n|\) and vector \((c_1,c_2, \ldots,c_n)\) describes the domain \(\{s\in\mathbb{C}^n:\Re (s_i)>c_i, i=1,2,\ldots, n\}\) of absolutely convergence of multiple zeta function \[ \sum_{(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_n)\in \mathbb{N}^n}\frac{f(m_1,m_2,\ldots, m_n)}{m_1^{s_1}m_2^{s_2}\cdots m_n^{s_n}}. \] In particular, a lot of related asymptotic formulas related with the LMC functions are presented.
