Abstract

The research in the subfield of analytic number theory around error term of summation of sigma functions possesses a history which can be dated back to the mid-19th century when Dirichlet provided an O(n)O(\sqrt{n}) estimation of error term of summation of d(n)d(n). Later, G. Voronoi, G. Kolesnik, and M.N. Huxley (to name just a few) contributed more on the upper bound on the error term of summation of sigma functions. As for Ω\Omega-theorems, G.H. Hardy was the first contributor. Later researchers on this topic include G.H. Hardy and T.H. Gronwall, but the amount of academic effort is much sparser than OO-theorems. This research aims to provide a better Ω\Omega-bound for the error term of summation of fractional sigma function σα(n)\sigma_{\alpha}(n) on the range 0<α<120 < \alpha < \frac{1}{2}, obtaining the result Ω((xlnx)14+α2)\Omega((x \ln x)^{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\alpha}{2}}).
