Linear correlations of the divisor function

Abstract: Motivated by arithmetic applications on the number of points in a bihomogeneous variety and on moments of Dirichlet

L

-functions, we provide analytic continuation for the series

with the sum restricted to solutions of a non-trivial linear equation

a_{1} n_{1} + c d o t s + a_{k} n_{k} = 0

. The series

converges absolutely for

R e (s) > 1 - f r a c 1 k

and we show it can be meromorphically continued to

R e (s) > 1 - f r a c 2 k + 1

with poles at

s = 1 - f r a c 1 k - j

only, for

1 l e q j < (k - 1) / 2

. As an application, we obtain an asymptotic formula with power saving error term for the number of points in the variety

a_{1} x_{1} y_{1} + c d o t s + a_{k} x_{k} y_{k} = 0

in

m a t h b b P^{k - 1} (m a t h b b Q) i m e s m a t h b b P^{k - 1} (m a t h b b Q)

.
