Abstract We define the Euler function of a global field and recover the fundamental properties of the classical arithmetical function. In addition, we prove the holomorphicity of the associated zeta function. As an application, we recover analogs of the mean value theorems of Mertens and Erdos–Dressler–Bateman. ˝ The exposition is aimed at non-experts in arithmetic statistics, with the intention of providing insight toward the generalization of arithmetical functions to other contexts within arithmetic topology.

1 Introduction 1.1 Euler’s function
The classical arithmetical function of Euler, denoted by ϕ(n), is defined in group theoretic terms as the order of the group of units modulo n. The Chinese remainder theorem implies that ϕ(n) is a multiplicative arithmetical function, and this means that for every pair of relatively prime positive integers a and b, we have ϕ(ab) = ϕ(a)ϕ(b). Since for every prime number p and every positive integer r, the ring Z /pr Z is local with maximal ideal p Z /pr Z, and the units modulo pr correspond to the complement of p Z /pr Z inside Z /pr Z. This implies ϕ(pr ) = pr (1 − 1/p). The unique factorization property of the integers yields the
