Abstract

In this paper, we study various arithmetic properties of d + n/d, where d runs through all the tau(n) positive divisors of n. For example, denoting by pi(n) the number of prime values among these sums, we study how often pi(n) > 0 and also pi(n) = tau(n), and we also evaluate the average value of pi(n). We estimate some character sums with d+ n/d and study the distribution of quadratic nonresidues and primitive roots among these sums on average over n
