Riemann hypothesis from the Dedekind psi function

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let P\mathcal{P} be the set of all primes and ψ(n)=n∏n∈P,p∣n(1+1/p)ψ(n)=n\prod_{n\in \mathcal{P},p|n}(1+1/p) be the Dedekind psi function. We show that the Riemann hypothesis is satisfied if and only if f(n)=ψ(n)/n−eγlog⁡log⁡n<0f(n)=ψ(n)/n-e^γ \log \log n <0 for all integers n>n0=30n>n_0=30 (D), where γ≈0.577γ\approx 0.577 is Euler's constant. This inequality is equivalent to Robin's inequality that is recovered from (D) by replacing ψ(n)ψ(n) with the sum of divisor function σ(n)≥ψ(n)σ(n)\ge ψ(n) and the lower bound by n0=5040n_0=5040. For a square free number, both arithmetical functions σσ and ψψ are the same. We also prove that any exception to (D) may only occur at a positive integer nn satisfying ψ(m)/m<ψ(n)/nψ(m)/m<ψ(n)/n, for any $m
