Ranges of Unitary Divisor Functions

Abstract: For any real

t

, the unitary divisor function

s i g m a_{t}^{*}

is the multiplicative arithmetic function defined by

s i g m a_{t}^{*} (p^{a l p h a}) = 1 + p^{a l p h a t}

for all primes

p

and positive integers

a l p h a

. Let

o v e r l i n e s i g m a_{t}^{*} (m a t h b b N)

denote the topological closure of the range

s i g m a_{t}^{*}

. We calculate an explicit constant

e t a^{*} a p p r o x 1.9742550

and show that

o v e r l i n e s i g m a_{- r}^{*} (m a t h b b N)

is connected if and only if

r i n (0, e t a^{*}]

. We end with an open problem.
