On mean values of some zeta-functions in the critical strip

For a fixed integer $k\ge 3$ and fixed $1\mathrm{/}2<\sigma >1$ we consider $$ \int_1^T |\zeta(\sigma + it)|^{2k}dt = \sum_{n=1}^\infty d_k^2(n)n^{-2\sigma}T

• R(k,\sigma;T), $$where$R(k,\sigma;T) = o(T) (T\to\infty)$ is the error term in the above asymptotic formula. Hitherto the sharpest bounds for $R(k,\sigma ;T)$ are given for certain ranges of $\sigma$. We also obtain new mean value results for the zeta-functions of holomorphic cusp forms and the Rankin-Selberg series.
