On mean values of multivariable complex valued multiplicative functions and applications (Q2214489)

Let \(\{n, d\}\subseteq\mathbb N,\;P(\mathbf{x})\in\mathbb R_{+}[\mathbf{x}],\;\mathbf{x}:=(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n})\), let \(P\) be a homogeneous polynomial of degree \(d\), and suppose that \(P(\mathbb R_{+}^{n}\setminus \{0\})\neq 0\). Building on his previous work [Contemp. Math. 566, 65--98 (2012; Zbl 1279.11068)], the author further examines the analytic behaviour of the function \[s\mapsto Z(f, P; s),\;s\in{\mathbb{C}},\;Z(f, P; s):=\sum_{\mathbf{m}\in\mathbb N^{n}}f(\mathbf{m})P(\mathbf{m})^{-s/d},\] where \(f(\mathbf{m})\) is a complex valued multiplicative function, and thereby obtains new asymptotic formulae for the sums \[\sum_{\mathbf{m}\in\mathbb N^{n}}, P(\mathbf{m})<tf(\mathbf{m})\] as \(t\rightarrow\infty .\) Several arithmetic applications of that work are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1446.11004].
