On a certain arithmetic function defined via Bernoulli numbers

Number Theory 2026-07-21 v1

Abstract

We investigate the integrality property of an arithmetic function defined on the set of odd numbers n3n\geq 3. It is constructed via Bernoulli numbers. As a result, we show that this function unifies three distinct number classes -- primes, Carmichael numbers, and Giuga numbers -- into a single integrality criterion. The article is elementary and therefore accessible to a broad audience.
