General divisor function inequalities and the third cumulant

Number Theory 2018-06-05 v1

Abstract

We extend a lower bound of Munshi on sums over divisors of a number nn which are less than a fixed power of nn from the squarefree case to the general case. In the process we prove a lower bound on the entropy of a geometric distribution with finite support, as well as a lower bound on the probability that a random variable is less than its mean given that it satisfies a natural condition related to its third cumulant.
