The variance of divisor sums in arithmetic progressions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the variance of sums of the k-fold divisor function dk(n) over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture about the asymptotics of this variance. This result is closely related to moments of Dirichlet L-functions and our proof relies on the asymptotic large sieve.
