Abstract: In the present paper, we introduce a multiple Ramanujan sum for arithmetic functions, which gives a multivariable extension of the generalized Ramanujan sum studied by D. R. Anderson and T. M. Apostol. We then find fundamental arithmetic properties of the multiple Ramanujan sum and study several types of Dirichlet series involving the multiple Ramanujan sum. As an application, we evaluate higher-dimensional determinants of higher-dimensional matrices, the entries of which are given by values of the multiple Ramanujan sum.

Review text

The author considers the generalized Ramanujan's sum of the form \[ S_{f_1, f_2,\dots, f_{m+1}} =\sum_{\substack{ d_j\mid(n_1,\dots, n_{m+1})\\ j=1,\dots, m}} f_1(n_1/d_1)f_2(d_1/d_2)\dots f_m(d_{m-1}/d_m)f_{m+1}(d_m). \] For \(m=1\) this becomes the generalized Ramanujan's sum introduced in \textit{D. R. Anderson} and \textit{T. M. Apostol} [Duke Math. J. 20, 211--216 (1953; Zbl 0050.04205)], and for \(n_1=\cdots =n_{m+1}\) this becomes the Dirichlet convolution \(f_1\ast f_2\ast\cdots\ast f_{m+1}\). The author examines arithmetical properties and Dirichlet series of this sum. As an application, the author evaluates higher-dimensional determinants, the entries of which are values of the generalized Ramanujan's sum. These determinants are generalizations of Smith's determinant, see \textit{P. Haukkanen, J. Wang} and \textit{J. Sillanpää} [Linear Algebra Appl. 258, 251--269 (1997; Zbl 0883.15002)].
