We prove certain conjecture holds true for a finite category which has M\"obius inversion. The conjecture states a relationship between the zeta function of a finite category and the Euler characteristic of a finite category.

The aim of this article is to present in a self-contained way identities arising in elementary number theory, among which the following one: $$ \sum_{d\mid n}\frac{\mu^2(d)}{\varphi(d)\,d^s}=\prod_{p\mid n}\left(1+\frac{1}{(p-1)p^s}\right).…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

The multiple zeta values are generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. They are known to satisfy a number of relations, among which are the cyclic sum formula. The cyclic sum formula can be stratified…

Based on the Goldbach conjecture and arithmetic fundamental theorem, the Goldbach conjecture was extended to more general situations, i.e., any positive integer can be written as summation of some specific prime numbers, which depends on…
