Jan 9, 2012 at 13:10 comment added user9072 @Will Jagy, in case you still read this: thank you for the kind offer and sorry for not following up earlier; my activity was a bit spurious lately. While not at the time of writing, in general it would be reasonable easy for me to get the paper, so thank you but it is not needed. Also, thank you regarding the clarification with the series; I did not want to imply (but perhaps did not make this clear enough) that it is this what is used (I did not know). The intention was merely to say something that shows that it is not toally unexpected that properties of zete could play a role.
Jan 3, 2012 at 21:34 comment added Will Jagy quid, I got the Robin pdf today. If you would like a copy email me, you could create an address such as [email protected] for this type of purpose. I do not see the explicit Dirichlet series you show above, but he has a long bibliography. In particular, he is a student of J. L. Nicolas, who has a later survey article on this area in a book called Ramanujan Revisited.
Dec 25, 2011 at 18:17 comment added user9072 Yes, of course, the results are surprising and nice. All I meant to say is that this fits fairly naturally into some general development, and did not come out of nowhere. And, the inequality is not Robin's so the question 'how did he derive it' seems in some sense ill-posed; as he was not the (first) one to derive it.
Dec 25, 2011 at 18:06 comment added Igor Rivin This is certainly quite a reasonable view, but the statements (of Robin, etc) are still quite surprising...
