Note on Fractional Sums with Fixed GCD
Abstract
We investigate fractional sums of arithmetic functions over products of two or three integers, with emphasis on fixed greatest common divisors and multiplicative weights. Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying $f(n) \ll n^α$ for some $0 \le α< 1$. For $r \ge 2$, let $τ_r(n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a product of $r$ positive integers, and more generally, $τ_r^{(d)}(n)$ the number of representations with $\gcd$ factors equal to $d$. We establish asymptotic formulas for the fractional sums \[ S_{f,r}^{(d)}(x) = \sum_{n \le x} τ_r^{(d)}(n) f\!\left(\left\lfloor \frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor \right), \] in the cases $r=2$ and $r=3$.
