Abstract: We obtain asymptotic for the quantity where auk(n)=sumd1dotsdk=n1. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc bounds for the exponential sum with auk, and asymptotics for high moments of the Dirichlet kernel.


Let \(k\geq 2\) be some integer, \(s>2\) be real, and \(\tau_k(n)\) be the generalized divisor counting function. In this paper, the author provides asymptotic expansion for the moments \[ \int_0^1\left|\sum_{n\leq X}\tau_k(n)e^{2\pi i\alpha n}\right|^s\,d\alpha. \] To deal with the main term, the author applies the following approximation on the order of magnitude of higher moments of Dirichlet kernels, \[ \int_0^1\left|\sum_{n\leq X}e^{2\pi i\alpha n}\right|^s\,d\alpha=\left(\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\frac{|\sin t|^s}{t^s}\,dt\right)X^{s-1}+O_s(X^{s-2}). \]
