The author's result is the asymptotic formula \[ \sum_{n\leq x, n\in {\mathcal S}}d(n-1) = cx\sqrt{\log x} + O\left( {x\log\log x\over\sqrt{\log x}}\right).\tag{1} \] The author proves (1) under the extended Riemann hypothesis (no mention is made to what can be obtained unconditionally). The constant \(c\) is given explicitly, \(d(n)\) is the number of divisors of \(n\), while \({\mathcal S}\) represents the set of Gaussian numbers, that is, the set of integers \(n\) of the form \(n = x^2 + y^2\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are integers. Essentially the extended Riemann hypothesis is used to obtain analytic continuation of the Dirichlet series generated by the characteristic function of \({\mathcal S}\) multiplied by a Dirichlet character, since the Dirichlet series in question turns out to be a square root of a product of \(L\)--functions.
