Where have you encountered the following arithmetic function?
The following arithmetic function is studied by Zagier in connection with values at odd negative integers of zeta functions of real quadratic fields:
$$e_r (n)=\sum_{\underset{|x|\leq n}{x^{2}\equiv n\...

On two formulas involving the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k$ and the function $r_k$
I have a puzzle which needs some help form the experts here. Let $d(n)$ be the divisor function, and $d_k(n)$ the $k$-fold divisor function.
I) It is known that, for any positive integer $h$,
$$d(n+h)...

The importance of relations between automorphic forms and arithmetic functions
As I understand things, one of the classical reasons to care about modular forms was their relation to interesting arithmetic functions/counting questions, i.e. on sums of squares and partitions. When ...
