Robin's theorem

Primary tabs

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of an integer $n$ and

G(n)\;:=\;\frac{\sigma(n)}{n\ln(\ln{n})}\qquad(n\;=\;2,\,3,\,4,\,\ldots).

The Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if

G(n)\;<\;e^{\gamma}\quad\mbox{for all }\,n\;>\;7!

where $\gamma$ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.
