On the natural density of almost perfect numbers

This question is pretty basic, so I apologize in advance if it is unsuitable for MO. If so, please do let me know and I will migrate it over to MSE. Essentially, by work of Kanold, we know that the …

On Descartes / spoof odd perfect numbers

Descartes, Frenicle, and subsequently Sorli, conjectured that $k = 1$, if $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ is an odd perfect number given in Eulerian form (i.e., $q$ is prime with $q \equiv k \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\ …

Reference Request - Sharp Estimates for a Logarithmic Sum

Rather than multiplying, we sum $\forall i \in {1, 2, \ldots \omega(N)}$ to get: $$\sum_{j = 1}^{\omega(N)}\frac{{{q_j}^{\beta_j}}{\sigma({q_j}^{\beta_j})}}{N} \le \frac{2\omega(N)}{3}$$ Following N …

Existence of Solutions to an Equation Involving the Sum-of-Divisors Function [Reference Requ...

(Thanks to Luis H Gallardo for pointing out the parity condition on $n$.) (Edited on March 12, 2015) I was actually trying to (initially) rule out the condition $\sigma(n) = q^k$ for an odd perfect …

On odd perfect numbers and a GCD

Here is a conditional proof that $$G = \gcd(\sigma(q^k),\sigma(n^2)) = i(q) = \gcd(n^2, \sigma(n^2)).$$ As derived in the OP, we have $$G = \gcd\bigg(\frac{n^2}{i(q)}, i(q)\bigg).$$ This is e …

On odd perfect numbers and a GCD

It turns out that $$G \text{ is a square } \iff i(q) \text{ is a square.}$$ The proof is essentially contained in this answer to a closely related MSE question. Thus, we have the implication $$G \te …

Existence of Solutions to an Equation Involving the Sum-of-Divisors Function [Reference Requ...

Let $\sigma(x) = \sigma_1(x)$ denote the sum of all the positive divisors of $x$. If $n \in \mathbb{N}$ is odd and $\gcd(n, \sigma(n)) = 1$, then do there exist any solutions to the following equatio …

Reference Request - Sharp Estimates for a Logarithmic Sum

Can anybody suggest a good (e.g. "non-technical") introduction to estimating bounds for logarithmic sums of the form $$\sum_{i=1}^{r}{{\alpha_i}{\log(q_i)}}$$ where the $$\alpha_i$$ are positive int …
