Abstract
Robin's Inequality posits for . Robin also showed that if the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is false, then for infinitely many values of . By analyzing the prime or semiprime quotient for consecutive Colossally Abundant (CA) numbers followed by (where satisfies Robin's Inequality and violates it), we demonstrate that if the Riemann Hypothesis is false, then the least CA counterexample, , must be constrained to the band where , i.e. excluded from the infinite set beyond the higher threshold.
