Review text

In this technical paper, the authors use the circle method to improve asymptotic formulas motivated by a nice formula of \textit{C. Calderón} and \textit{M. J. de Velasco} [Bol. Soc. Bras. Mat., Nova Sér. 31, No. 1, 81--91 (2000; Zbl 1031.11057)] involving the Dirichlet divisor function \(d(.)\). Namely, they improve \[ \sum_{a,b,c \in I} d(a^2+b^2+c^2) = \frac{8}{5}\frac{\zeta(3)}{\zeta(5)}x^3 \log(x)+O(x^3) \] where \(I =]1,x]\) to \[ \sum_{u,v,w \in I}d( u+v+w) = K_1 L_1(x,y) +2(\gamma K_1-K_2)L_2(x,y)+O(x^{\frac{1-2k}{k}-\varepsilon}y^3) \] where \(x,y=o(x)\)(explicitly, depending on \(k\)), are sufficiently large positive integers, \(u=a^2, v =b^2, w =c^k\), \(k\) a given integer exceeding \(2\), \(I =]x-y,x+y]\), \(L_2(x,y) \asymp x^{\frac{1-2k}{k}} y^3\), \(L_1(x,y) \asymp L_2(x,y) \log(x)\), \[ 4 k L_{j}(x,y) = \sum_{n \in 3I} \log^{2-j}(n)\sum_{\substack{a,b,c \in I \\ a+b+c=n}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{ab}c^{\frac{k-1}{k}}}, \] \(\gamma\) is Euler's constant, \(\varepsilon\) a positive real number, and \(K_1,K_2\) are explicit numerical series.
