Abstract

We introduce a shifted convolution sum that is parametrized by the squarefree natural number t. The asymptotic growth of this series depends explicitly on whether or not t is a congruent number, an integer that is the area of a rational right triangle. This series presents a new avenue of inquiry for the congruent number problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
