We study piecewise polynomial functions γk(c) that appear in the asymptotics of averages of the divisor sum in short intervals. Specifically, we express these polynomials as the inverse Fourier transform of a Hankel determinant that satisfies a Painlevé V equation. We prove that γk(c) is very smooth at its transition points and also determine the asymptotics of γk(c) in a large neighbourhood of k = c/2. Finally, we consider the coefficients that appear in the asymptotics of elliptic aliquot cycles.
