A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Through the Nicolas Inequality

General Mathematics 2020-11-06 v9

Abstract

A work by Nicolas has shown that if it can be proven that a certain inequality holds for all nn, the Riemann hypothesis is true. This inequality is associated with the Mertens theorem, and hence the Euler totient at k=1npk\prod_{k=1}^n p_k, where nn is any integer and pnp_n is the nn-th prime. We shall show that indeed the Nicolas inequality holds for all nn.
