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…

In 1984, Robin showed that the Riemann Hypothesis for $\zeta$ is equivalent to demonstrating $\sigma(n) < e^\gamma n \log \log n$ for all $n > 5040$. Robin's inequality has since been proven for various infinite families of power-free…

A positive integer n is called r-free if n is not divisible by the r-th power of a prime. Generalizing earlier work of Orr, we provide an upper bound of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the r-free numbers in arithmetic progressions.

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…

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality sum_{d|n}d<e^{gamma}n loglog n is satisfied for n>=5041, where gamma denotes the Euler(-Mascheroni) constant. We show by elementary methods…

Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…

Let $r \ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a finite, nonempty set of nonzero integers. We will obtain a lower bound for the number of squarefree integers $n$, up to $x$, for which the products $\prod_{p \mid n} (p+a)$ (over primes $p$) are…

A square-free integer is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Merten's function, $M(x)$ is defined as the difference between the number of square free integers with an even number of prime factors and the…

We prove that every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be written as the sum of a prime and an integer that is not square-free. In addition, we expect this result holds for every $n > 24$ and prove two results to support this claim. First,…

We provide new, elementary proofs that Robin's inequality and the Lagarias inequality hold for almost every number, including all numbers not divisible by one of the prime numbers $2$, $3$, $5$; all primorials; given $k$ a natural number,…

Define $s (n) := n^{- 1} \sigma (n)$ ($\sigma (n):=\sum_{d|n}d )$ and $\omega(n)$ is the number of prime divisors of $n$. One of the properties of $s$ plays a central role: $s (p^a) > s (q^b)$ if $p < q$ are prime numbers, with no special…

For n>1, let G(n)=\sigma(n)/(n log log n), where \sigma(n) is the sum of the divisors of n. We prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if 4 is the only composite number N satisfying G(N) \ge \max(G(N/p),G(aN)), for all prime…

We prove that every positive integer $n$ which is not equal to $1$, $2$, $3$, $6$, $11$, $30$, $155$, or $247$ can be represented as a sum of a squarefree number and a prime not exceeding $\sqrt{n}$.

A positive square-free integer is called a \textit{congruent number} if it arises as the area of a right triangle with rational side lengths. Let $ n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_t q $ be a square-free integer, where each $ p_i \equiv 1 \pmod{8} $ and…
