Abstract: Upper bounds for GCD sums of the form [sum_{k,{ell}=1}^Nfrac{(gcd(n_k,n_{ell}))^{2alpha}}{(n_k n_{ell})^alpha}] are proved, where (nk)1leqkleqN is any sequence of distinct positive integers and 0<alphale1; the estimate for alpha=1/2 solves in particular a problem of Dyer and Harman from 1986, and the estimates are optimal except possibly for alpha=1/2. The method of proof is based on identifying the sum as a certain Poisson integral on a polydisc; as a byproduct, estimates for the largest eigenvalues of the associated GCD matrices are also found. The bounds for such GCD sums are used to establish a Carleson--Hunt-type inequality for systems of dilated functions of bounded variation or belonging to lip12, a result that in turn settles two longstanding problems on the a.e. behavior of systems of dilated functions: the a.e. growth of sums of the form sumk=1Nf(nkx) and the a.e. convergence of sumk=1inftyckf(nkx) when f is 1-periodic and of bounded variation or in lip12.
