TITLE: what is the equivalent of the Euler constant for higher dimensional lattices
QUESTION [16 upvotes]: Let $\Lambda$ be a unimodular lattice in $\mathbb R^d$. Then there are constants such that
$$\sum_{\substack{\gamma\in \Lambda\\0<|\gamma|<R\\}} \frac{1}{|\gamma|^d} = c_1 \log R + c_2 + o(1).$$
My questions are: Does $c_2$ depend on the lattice ? If yes,  how ?

REPLY [10 votes]: $\def\RR{\mathbb{R}}\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}$This is essentially the constant term in the Epstein $\zeta$-function. Given a lattice $\Lambda$ in $\RR^d$, the Epstein $\zeta$ function is
$$Z(\Lambda, s) = \sum_{g \in \Lambda \setminus \{ 0 \}} \frac{1}{(g^T g)^s}.$$
$Z$ has a simple pole at $d/2$ with residue $\tfrac{\pi^{d/2}}{\sqrt{\det \Lambda} \ \Gamma(d/2)}$, and no other poles on $\mathrm{Re}(s)\geq d/2$. Set
$$Z(s) = \frac{\pi^{d/2}}{(\det \Lambda) \ \Gamma(d/2) (s-d/2)}+c(\Lambda) + O(s-d/2)$$
There are standard tools to convert Dirichlet series estimates to partial sum estimates. If I didn't drop any constants, then 
$$c_1 = \frac{2 \pi^{d/2}}{(\det \Lambda) \ \Gamma(d/2)} \quad c_2 = c(\Lambda).$$
Theorem 4 of Terras, "Bessel Series Expansions of the Epstein Zeta Function and the Functional Equation", Trans. AMS, Vol. 183 (Sep., 1973), pp. 477-486  gives a formula for $c(\Lambda)$ in terms of other functions, but I don't feel competent to summarize it.
