Abstract

Recall that an integer is tt-free iff it is not divisible by ptp^t for some prime p.p. We give a method to check Robin inequality σ(n)<eγnloglogn,\sigma(n) < e^\gamma n\log\log n, for tt-free integers nn and apply it for t=6,7.t=6,7. We introduce Ψt,\Psi_t, a generalization of Dedekind Ψ\Psi function defined for any integer t2t\ge 2 by Ψt(n):=npn(1+1/p+...+1/pt1).\Psi_t(n):=n\prod_{p | n}(1+1/p+...+1/p^{t-1}). If nn is tt-free then the sum of divisor function σ(n)\sigma(n) is Ψt(n). \le \Psi_t(n). We characterize the champions for xΨt(x)/x,x \mapsto \Psi_t(x)/x, as primorial numbers. Define the ratio Rt(n):=Ψt(n)nloglogn.R_t(n):=\frac{\Psi_t(n)}{n\log\log n}. We prove that, for all tt, there exists an integer n1(t),n_1(t), such that we have Rt(Nn)<eγR_t(N_n)< e^\gamma for nn1,n\ge n_1, where Nn=k=1npk.N_n=\prod_{k=1}^np_k. Further, by combinatorial arguments, this can be extended to Rt(N)eγR_t(N)\le e^\gamma for all NNn,N\ge N_n, such that nn1(t).n\ge n_1(t). This yields Robin inequality for t=6,7.t=6,\,7. For tt varying slowly with NN, we also derive Rt(N)<eγ.R_t(N)< e^\gamma.
