I see that your first inequality follows if "enough" factors of the cyclotomic polynomial are greater than $d$. While I believe the inequality, can you provide more justification for the denominator $\log d?$
Yes, take p to be one more than a highly composite number. However, a later post will show I am really interested in $\omega(\sigma(p^n))$. Even then I have examples only for n small.
