We study the sum τ of divisors of the quadratic form m₁² + m₂² + m₃². Let $S₃\left(X\right)={\sum }_{1\le m₁,m₂,m₃\le X}\tau (m₁²+m₂²+m₃²)$. We obtain the asymptotic formula S₃(X) = C₁X³logX + C₂X³ + O(X²log⁷X), where C₁,C₂ are two constants. This improves upon the error term $O_{\epsilon }\left(X^{8/3+\epsilon }\right)$ obtained by Guo and Zhai (2012).

The present paper deals with the summatory function of functions acting on the digits of an $q$-ary expansion. In particular let $n$ be a positive integer, then we call$$\begin{array}{c}n=\sum _{r=0}^{\ell }{d}_r\left(n\right)q^r\text{with}{d}_r\left(n\right)\in \{0,...,q-1\}\end{array}$$its $q$-ary expansion. We call a function $f$strictly $q$-additive, if for a given value, it acts only on the digits of its representation, i.e.,$$f\left(n\right)=\sum _{r=0}^{\ell }f\left(d_r\left(n\right)\right).$$Let $p\left(x\right)={\alpha }_0{x}^{{\beta }_0}+\cdots +{\alpha }_d{x}^{{\beta }_d}$ with ${\alpha }_0,{\alpha }_1,...,{\alpha }_d,\in ℝ$, ${\alpha }_0\>0$, ${\beta }_0\>\cdots \>{\beta }_d\ge 1$ and at least one ${\beta }_i\notin \mathbb{Z}$. Then we call $p$ a pseudo-polynomial.The goal is to prove that for a $q$-additive function $f$ there exists an $\epsilon \>0$ such that$$\begin{array}{c}\sum _{n\le N}f\left(⌊p\left(n\right)⌋\right)={\mu }_{f}N{log}_q\left(p\left(N\right)\right)\hfill \\ \hfill +N{F}_{f,{\beta }_0}\left({log}_q\left(p\left(N\right)\right)\right)+𝒪\left(N^{1-\epsilon }\right),\end{array}$$where ${\mu }_f$ is the mean of the values of $f$...

Let F/E be a Galois extension of number fields with Galois group $D_{2ⁿ}$. In this paper, we give some expressions for the order of the Sylow p-subgroups of tame kernels of F and some of its subfields containing E, where p is an odd prime. As applications, we give some results about the order of the Sylow p-subgroups when F/E is a Galois extension of number fields with Galois group $D_{16}$.

Motivated by a renewed interest for the “additive dilogarithm” appeared recently, the purpose of this paper is to complete calculations on the tangent complex to the Bloch-Suslin complex, initiated a long time ago and which were motivated at the time by scissors congruence of polyedra and homology of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2$. The tangent complex to the trilogarithmic complex of Goncharov is also considered.

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $a$ be an integer not divisible by $p$. When $m$ is a positive integer with $p\equiv 1(mod2m)$ and $2$ is an $m$th power residue modulo $p$, we determine the value of the product ${\prod }_{k\in R_m\left(p\right)}(1+tan(\pi ak/p))$, where $$R_m\left(p\right)=\{0<k<p:k\in \mathbb{Z}\text{is}\text{an}m\text{th}\text{power}\text{residue}\text{modulo}p\}.$$ In particular, if $p=x^2+64y^2$ with $x,y\in \mathbb{Z}$, then $$\prod _{k\in R_4\left(p\right)}\left(1+tan\pi \frac{ak}{p}\right)={(-1)}^y{(-2)}^{(p-1)/8}.$$
