For an integer $n \ge 3$, consider the function $$u(n) = \frac{\sigma(n)}{n \log \log n}$$ with $\sigma$ the divisor function. Now consider the sequence (bounded below and decreasing) $$v_n = \sup_{m&...

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\zeta$ be a primitive $n$th root of unity. It is not hard to show that \begin{align*} \sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac{\zeta^k}{1-\zeta^k}=\frac{1-n}{2}. \end{align*} Since $\...
