Abstract: The present paper is a dissertation on the possible consequences of a conjectural bound for the so-called hinspace modified Selberg integral of the divisor function d3, i.e. a discrete version of the classical Selberg integral, where d3(n)=sumabc=n1 is attached to the Cesaro weight 1−|n−x|/H in the short interval |n−x|leH. Mainly, an immediate consequence is a non-trivial bound for the Selberg integral of d3, improving recent results of Ivi'c based on the standard approach through the moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. We proceed instead with elementary arguments, by first applying the "elementary Dispersion Method" in order to establish a link between "weighted Selberg integrals" hinspace of any arithmetic function f and averages of correlations of f in short intervals. Moreover, we provide a conditional generalization of our results to the analogous problem on the divisor function dk for any kge3. Further, some remarkable consequences on the 2k−th moments of the Riemann zeta function are discussed. Finally, we also discuss the essential properties that a general function f should satisfy so that the estimation of its Selberg integrals could be approachable by our method.


Summary: We give a general link between weighted Selberg integrals of any arithmetic function \(f\) and averages of \(f\) correlations in short intervals, proved by the elementary dispersion method (our version of Linnik's method). We formulate conjectural bounds for the so-called modified Selberg integral of the divisor functions \(d_k(n)\), gauged by the Cesaro weight in the short interval \(n \in \left[x - H, x + H\right]\) and improved by these some recent results by Ivić. The same link provides, also, an unconditional improvement. Then, some remarkable conditional implications on the \(2k\) th moments of Riemann zeta function on the critical line are derived. We also give general requirements on \(f\) that allow our treatment for \(f\) weighted Selberg integrals.
