Event description: 

In a 1927 paper, Oppenheim generalized Voronoi’s summation formula to obtain a representation for $D_a(x) = \sum_{n \le x} \sigma_a(n)$ in terms of Bessel functions. Different applications of Oppenheim summation can be used to provide estimates for moments of the Riemann zeta function. We will describe a smooth version of Oppenheim’s formula, and we will discuss ways in which it can relate Eisenstein series to moments.
