Sums of divisor functions in $$\mathbb {F}_q[t]$$ F q [ t ] and matrix integrals

Abstract: We study the mean square of sums of the kth divisor function d k (n) over short intervals and arithmetic progressions for the rational function field over a finite field of q elements. In the limit as q → ∞ we establish a relationship with a matrix integral over the unitary group. Evaluating this integral enables us to compute the mean square of the sums of d k (n) in terms of a lattice point count. This lattice point count can in turn be calculated in terms of a certain piecewise polynomial function, which we… Show more

“…The other cases exhibit similar behavior, so we infer that the approximation P(c, α, β, n) is accurate when n > 3. The expression P(c, 0, 0, n) here gives an easy way to characterise the coefficients of P(c, 0, 0, n) conjectured in [24].…”

“…In the function field setting, the analogous problem was studied by Rodgers, Rudnick and the second and third authors [KRRGR18]. Let M n ⊂ F q [t] be the set of monic polynomials of degree n with coefficients in F q .…”

“…The function field analog of our setup, where the digits are replaced by the coefficients of a polynomial (1.3) m(T ) = a 0 + a 1 T + · · · + a n−1 T n−1 + a n T n over a finite field F q , has also received a lot of attention, as can be seen from [1,3,4,10,11,14,15,21,23,24,25,26,29,30,31,32,33,38,39,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,53,54,55,57]. In this work we contribute to the study of the function field analog by giving lower bounds on the number of squarefrees in 'sparse' boxes.…”
