N2 - Let F(x) ∈ Z[x1, x2, … , xn] , n≥ 3 , be an n-variable quadratic polynomial with a nonsingular quadratic part. Using the circle method we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum Σk,F(X;B)=∑x∈XB∩Znτk(F(x));for X tending to infinity, where B⊂ Rn is an n-dimensional box such that min x∈XBF(x) ≥ 0 for all sufficiently large X, and τk(·) is the kth divisor function for any integer k≥ 2.
