After Landau, we define g(n) as the maximal order of a permutation of the symmetric group S(n) on n letters. We give several estimates of the largest prime divisor of g(n).
Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of $n$ letters; Landau considered the function $g(n)$ defined as the maximal order of an element of $S_n$. This function is non-decreasing. Let us define the sequence $n_1=1, n_2=2, n_3=3, n_4=4,n_5=5,n_6=7,…
Landau function $g(n)$ is the maximal possible least common multiple of several positive integers with sum not exceeding $n$. Under additional assumptions that these numbers are the differences of disjoint bi-infinite arithmetic…
Let ${\mathfrak S}_n$ denote the symmetric group with $n$ letters, and $g(n)$ the maximal order of an element of ${\mathfrak S}_n$. If the standard factorization of $M$ into primes is $M=q_1^{\al_1}q_2^{\al_2}... q_k^{\al_k}$, we define…
This paper investigates the relationship between the Riemann hypothesis and the statement $\forall n, ~g(n) \le e^{\sqrt{p_n}}$, where $g(n)$ is the maximum order of an element of $S_n$, the symmetric group on $n$ elements, and $p_n$ is the…
We define $g(n)$ to be the maximal order of an element of the symmetric group on $n$ elements. Results about the prime factorization of $g(n)$ allow a reduction of the upper bound on the largest prime divisor of $g(n)$ to $1.328\sqrt{n\log…
In this paper we present two new results on the number of certain conjugacy classes of a finite group. For a finite group $G$, let $n(G)$ be the maximum of $k_{p}(G)$ taken over all primes $p$ where $k_{p}(G)$ denotes the number of…
We study Phragm\'en-Lindel\"of-type theorems for functions $u$ in homogeneous De Giorgi classes, and we show that the maximum modulus $\mu_+(r)$ of $u$ has a power-like growth of order $\alpha\in(0,1)$ when $r\to\infty$. By proper…
Ramanujan investigated maximal order for the number of divisors function by introducing some notion such as (superior) highly composite numbers. He also studied maximal order for other arithmetic functions including the sum of powers of…
We prove simple theorems concerning the maximal order of a large class of multiplicative functions. As an application, we determine the maximal orders of certain functions of the type $\sigma_A(n)= \sum_{d\in A(n)} d$, where A(n) is a…
We investigate the relationship between the maximum of the zeta function on the 1-line and the maximal order of $S(t)$, the error term in the number of zeros up to height $t$. We show that the conjectured upper bounds on $S(t)$ along with…
We prove that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the condition $\int_{2}^x\left(\pi(t)-\text{li}(t)\right)\mathrm{d}t<0$ for all $x>2$. Here, $\pi(t)$ is the prime-counting function and $\text{li}(t)$ is the logarithmic integral. This…
We establish an omega theorem for logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function near the 1-line by resonance method. We show that the inequality $\left| \zeta^{\prime}\left(\sigma_A+it\right)/\zeta\left(\sigma_A+it\right) \right|…
Suppose that $k$ and $N$ are positive integers. Let $f$ be a newform on $\Gamma_0(N)$ of weight $k$ with $L$-function $L_f(s)$. Previous works have studied the zeros of the period polynomial $r_f(z)$, which is a generating function for the…
Landau's theorem on conjugacy classes asserts that there are only finitely many finite groups, up to isomorphism, with exactly $k$ conjugacy classes for any positive integer $k$. We show that, for any positive integers $n$ and $s$, there…
On $\mathbb{R}^n,$ a classical result due to Bourgain establishes the restricted weak $(\frac{n}{n-1},1)$ inequality for the full maximal function $M_F^{d\sigma}$ associated to the spherical averages. In this work we present an extension to…
Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…
The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of the positive integer $n$. For a prime $p$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the $p$-adic valuation of $m$ is the highest power of $p$ which divides $m$. Formulas for…
We consider the function $G(n)=\frac{\sigma(n)}{n\log\log n}$ (where $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d|n}d$) and set an imposed condition on its argument $n$, the fulfillment of which is sufficient for the existence of a prime $p$, at which $G(np)>G(n)$.…
Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. We provide details for the proof of a statement of Erd\H{o}s implying that, for any function $\xi(n)$ tending to infinity with…
