Abstract
B. Sury proved the following Menon-type identity,âaâU(Zn),b1,â¯,brâZngcdâ¡(aâ1,b1,â¯,br,n)=Ï(n)Ïr(n), where U(Zn) is the group of units of the ring for residual classes modulo n, Ï is the Euler's totient function and Ïr(n) is the sum of r-th powers of positive divisors of n with r being a non-negative integer. Recently, C. Miguel extended this identity from Z to any residually finite Dedekind domain. In this note, we will give a further extension of Miguel's result to the case with many tuples of group of units. For the case of Z, our result reads as followsâa1,â¯,asâU(Zn),b1,â¯,brâZngcdâ¡(a1â1,â¯,asâ1,b1,â¯,br,n)=Ï(n)âi=1m(Ï(piki)sâ1pikirâpiki(s+râ1)+Ïs+râ1(piki)), where n=p1k1â¯pmkm is the prime factorization of n.
