On a certain divisor function in Number fields

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to study an analogue of the generalized divisor function in a number field

m a t h b b K

, namely,

s i g m a_{m a t h b b K, a l p h a} (n)

. The Dirichlet series associated to this function is

z e t a_{m a t h b b K} (s) z e t a_{m a t h b b K} (s - a l p h a)

. We give an expression for the Riesz sum associated to

s i g m a_{m a t h b b K, a l p h a} (n),

and also extend the validity of this formula by using convergence theorems. As a special case, when

m a t h b b K = m a t h b b Q

, the Riesz sum formula for the generalized divisor function is obtained, which, in turn, for

a l p h a = 0

, gives the Vorono"{i} summation formula associated to the divisor counting function

d (n)

. We also obtain a big

O

-estimate for the Riesz sum associated to

s i g m a_{m a t h b b K, a l p h a} (n)

.
