Abstract
We investigate an arithmetic function representing a generalization of the gcd-sum function, considered by Kurokawa and Ochiai in 2009 in connection with the multivariable global Igusa zeta function for a finite cyclic group. We show that the asymptotic properties of this function are closely connected to the Piltz divisor function. A generalization of Menon’s identity is also considered.
