Riesz means of the Dedekind function II

Abstract

Let $\psi$ denote the Dedekind totient function defined by $\psi (n)={\sum }_{d|n}d{\mu }^2ł(n/d\mathring{)}$ with $\mu$ being the Möbius function. We shall consider the $k$-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function $n/\psi (n)$ for any non-negative integer $k$ on the assumptions that the Riemann Hypothesis is true, and all the zeros $\rho$ on the critical line of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta$ are simple. Our result is an explicit representation of the error term in the formula obtained in a previous work of the second author and I. Kiuchi \cite{IK}. We also give an improvement on the error estimate under the assumption of the Gonek-Hejhal Hypothesis. And, we propose a proposition that is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis.
