Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality $\sigma(n):=\sum_{p|n}p<e^{\gamma} n \log \log n$ is satisfied for $n > 5040$, where $\gamma$ denotes the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We show…

Let $\Psi(n):=n\prod_{p | n}(1+\frac{1}{p})$ denote the Dedekind $\Psi$ function. Define, for $n\ge 3,$ the ratio $R(n):=\frac{\Psi(n)}{n\log\log n}.$ We prove unconditionally that $R(n)< e^\gamma$ for $n\ge 31.$ Let $N_n=2...p_n$ be the…

As essential condition for the validy of Robin's Theorem as a precondition for the proof of the Riemann hypothesis, we show that the minimum of the function $F={\rm e}^{\gamma}\,\ln(\ln\,n)-\sigma(n)/n$ is found to be positive. Therefore,…

Recall that an integer is $t-$free iff it is not divisible by $p^t$ for some prime $p.$ We give a method to check Robin inequality $\sigma(n) < e^\gamma n\log\log n,$ for $t-$free integers $n$ and apply it for $t=6,7.$ We introduce…
