Robin's Theorem


RobinsTheorem

Robin's theorem states that the Riemann hypothesis is true iff

 sigma(n)<e^gammanlnlnn

for every integer n>=5041 (Robin 1984; Havil 2003, p. 207), where sigma(n) is the divisor function giving the sum of the positive divisors of n and gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. For integers n>1, the inequality holds for 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, ... (OEIS A091901), and fails at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 120, 180, 240, 360, 720, 840, 2520, and 5040 (OEIS A067698).
