Abstract: I will describe recent work joint with Olga Balkanova and Dmitry Frolenkov on a restricted divisor function and its associated divisor problem. This problem shares properties with the usual Dirichlet divisor problem and the Hardy-Littlewood problem to count lattice points in a right triangle. The latter depends deeply on the arithmentic nature of the slope of the triangle the restricted divisor problem has a similar property. For the H-L problem, Hecke showed how to go much further when the slope comes from a real quadratic field. We apply Hecke’s idea to our problem, which introduces a number of interesting new difficulties, one involving uniform estimates in parameters of a hypergeometric function, which is well-known to be highly problematic.
