Abstract

Let Fq[t] be the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. For arithmetic functions ψ1,ψ2:Fq[t]→C, we establish that if a Bombieri-Vinogradov type equidistribution result holds for ψ1 and ψ2, then it also holds for their Dirichlet convolution ψ1⁎ψ2. As an application of this, we resolve a version of the Titchmarsh divisor problem in Fq[t]. More precisely, we obtain an asymptotic for the average behaviour of the divisor function over shifted products of two primes in Fq[t].
