Abstract; In this paper we consider the Riemann hypothesis by the primorial numbers.
Keywords; Riemann hypothesis, Primorial number.
1. Introduction and main result of paper
Let N be the set of the natural numbers. The function ϕ ( n ) = n ⋅ ∏ p|n (1 − p −1 ) is called Euler’s function
of n ∈ N ([3]). Here p | n note p is the prime divisor of n . Robin showed in his paper [5] (also see [4])
[Robin theorem] If the Riemann hypothesis (RH) is false, then there exist constants 0 < β < 1/ 2 and c > 0
such that σ ( n ) ≥ eγ ⋅ n ⋅ log log n + c ⋅ n ⋅ log log n / ( log n )
β
holds for infinitely many n ∈ N , where
σ ( n ) = ∑ d |n d is the divisor function of n ∈ N ([5]) and γ = 0.577" is Euler’s constant ([3]).
From this we have
[Theorem 1] If there exists a constant c0 ≥ 1 such that
(
n / ϕ ( n ) ≤ eγ ⋅ log log c0 ⋅ n ⋅ exp
holds for any n ≥ 2 , then the RH is true.
For n ∈ N
( n ≠ 1)
( (
(
log n ⋅ ( log log n )
(
))
we define Φ 0 ( n ) = exp exp e −γ ⋅ n / ϕ ( n ) / n ⋅ exp
(

))
(*)
log n ⋅ ( log log n )
2
)) .
Then we give
[Theorem 2] For any n ≥ 2 we have Φ 0 ( n ) ≤ 24 .
2. Proof of Theorem 1

3. Reduction to the primorial number
Let p1 = 2, p2 = 3, p3 = 5," be first consecutive primes. Then pm is m − th prime number. The number
( p1 " pm ) is called the primorial number ([1]). Assume n = q1λ " qmλ
1
m
is the prime factorization of n ∈ N .
Here q1 ," , qm are distinct primes and λ1 ," , λm are nonnegative integers ≥ 1 . Put ℑm = p1 " pm , then it is
clear that n ≥ ℑm ,
(

(
≤ ∏ i =1 1 − pi−1

)

=
ℑm
and so Φ 0 ( n ) ≤ Φ 0 ( ℑm ) . This
ϕ ( ℑm )
shows that the boundedness of the function Φ 0 ( n ) for n ∈ N is reduced to one for the primorial numbers.
4. Some symbols
It is known ∑ p ≤t p −1 = log log t + b + E ( t ) by [6], where b = γ + ∑ p ⎡⎣ log (1 − 1/ p ) + 1/ p ⎤⎦ = 0.26" and
( (
E ( t ) = Ο exp −a1 ⋅ log t
)) ( a > 0) and t is a real number ≥ 2 . Put F
1
m
= ℑm / ϕ ( ℑm ) , then we have
log ( Fm ) = −∑ i =1 log (1 − 1/ pi ) = −∑ i =1 ⎡⎣log (1 − 1/ pi ) + 1/ pi ⎤⎦ + ∑ i =11/ pi =
m
m
m
= −∑ i =1 ⎡⎣log (1 − 1/ pi ) + 1/ pi ⎤⎦ + log log pm + b + E ( pm ) =
m
= −∑ i =1 ⎡⎣log (1 − 1/ pi ) + 1/ pi ⎤⎦ + log log pm + γ + ∑ p ⎡⎣ log (1 − 1/ p ) + 1/ p ⎤⎦ + E ( pm ) =
m
= log log pm + γ + E ( pm ) + ε 0 ( pm ) ,
where ε 0 ( pm ) =
∑
p > pm
⎡⎣log (1 − 1/ p ) + 1/ p ⎤⎦ . From this we have
(
(e
−γ
)
(
)
)
exp e−γ ⋅ Fm = pm ⋅ e0′ ,
⋅ Fm = log pm ⋅ e0 ,
(
)
where e0 = exp E ( pm ) + ε 0 ( pm ) and e0′ = exp log pm ⋅ ( e0 − 1) . Similarly, we have
(e
(
−γ
)
(
)
)
exp e −γ ⋅ Fm−1 = pm −1 ⋅ e1′ ,
⋅ Fm −1 = log pm −1 ⋅ e1 ,
(
)
where e1 = exp E ( pm −1 ) + ε 0 ( pm −1 ) and e1′ = exp log pm −1 ⋅ ( e1 − 1) .
We recall the Chebyshev’s function ϑ ( t ) =
∑
p ≤t
log p ([3]). It is known that ϑ ( pm ) = pm ⋅ (1 + θ ( pm ) )
( (
by the prime number theorem ([3]), where θ ( pm ) = Ο exp − a2 ⋅ log pm
)) ( a
2
> 0 ) . Then we see
log ℑm = pm ⋅ α 0 and log ℑm −1 = pm −1 ⋅ α1 , where α 0 = 1 + θ ( pm ) and α1 = 1 + θ ( pm −1 ) .
Now we put N i = log ℑm −i ⋅ ( log log ℑm −i ) ( i = 0, 1) and Cm = Φ 0 ( ℑm )( m ≥ 1) .

5. Some numerical estimates
5.1. An estimate of e1 and e1′
We put p = pm −1 , p0 = pm below. For the theoretical calculation we assume p ≥ e14 . The discussion
(
)
for p ≤ e14 is supported by MATLAB. Since e −γ ⋅ Fm −1 = log p ⋅ e1 < log p + 1/ log p ( p ≥ 2 ) by (3.30) of
(
)
(
[6], we respectively have e1 < 1 + 1/ log p < 1.0052 p ≥ e14 , e1′ < exp(1/ log p ) < 1.075 p ≥ e14
2
(
)
)
and e1 ⋅ e1′ < 1.08 p ≥ e14 .
5.2. An estimate of ( e1 ⋅ e1′ )
Since if e1 < 1 then e1′ < 1 , we have e1 ⋅ e1′ < 1 . On the other hand, It is known that by (3.17), (3.20) of [6]
( −1/ log t ) ≤ E ( t ) = ∑
2
p ≤t
p −1 − b − log log t ≤ (1/ log 2 t ) ( t > 1) .
Hence if e1 > 1 , then 0 < a := E ( p ) + ε 0 ( p ) < 1/ log 2 p ≤ 0.0052 , since ε 0 ( p ) < 0 , and so
e1 = 1 + a + ∑ n=2 a n / n! ≤ 1 + a + a 2 / ( 2 ⋅ (1 − a ) ) ≤ 1 + a + 0.51⋅ a 2 .
∞
2
(
)
(
)
We have e1 ⋅ e1′ = exp a + log p ⋅ ( e1 − 1) ≤ 1 + b + b2 / 2 ⋅ (1 − b ) , where b = (1 + log p ) ⋅ a + 0.51 ⋅ log p ⋅ a 2
(
)
and b ≤ 0.09 p ≥ e14 . Therefore we have
e1 ⋅ e1′ ≤ 1 + (1 + log p ) ⋅ ( E ( p ) + ε 0 ( p ) ) + 0.59 ⋅ (1 + log p ) ⋅ ( E ( p ) + ε 0 ( p ) )

5.3. An estimate of K 0 := p0 ⋅ ( e0′ − α 0 ) − p ⋅ ( e1′ − α1 )
It is clear that

and ε 0 ( p0 ) − ε 0 ( p ) = − log (1 − 1/ p0 ) − 1/ p0 . From this we have

Now we are ready for the proof of the following lemma.

proof. Let Dm = pm ⋅ ( e0′ − α 0 ) /

pm ⋅ α 0 ⋅ log 2 ( pm ⋅ α 0 ) ( m ≥ 4 ) . Then Cm < 1 is equivalent to Dm < 1 .

And we here have Dm < 1 for 7 ≤ pm ≤ e14 and Dm ≤ am := 1 − 11 ⋅ S ( pm ) for any pm ≥ e14 . In fact, it is
easy to see that for 7 ≤ pm ≤ e14 by MATLAB (see the table 1 and the table 2 )

Next, p′ = 1202609 then we have D93118 = 0.01038" ≤ 0.1 ≤ 1 − 11 ⋅ S ( p′ ) ≤ 0.4 < 1 .
Now assume p ≥ e14 and Dm −1 ≤ am −1 . Let us see Dm ≤ am . We have

6. Proof of Theorem 2
Let n = q1λ1 " qmλm be the prime factorization of any natural number n ≥ 2 . Then it is clear pm ≤ qm . And if
7 ≤ pm ≤ e14 , then we have Cm < 1 , since ℜm < 0 (see the table 1 and the table 2), and if pm ≥ e14 then we
have Cm < 1 by the Lemma. Therefore we have Φ 0 ( n ) ≤ Φ 0 ( ℑm ) = Cm ≤ max {Cm } ≤ 24 . 
m ≥1
(Note) The table 1 shows the values Cm = Φ 0 ( ℑm ) and ℜ m to ω ( n ) = m of n ∈ N . There are only values
of Cm and ℜm for 1 ≤ m ≤ 10 here. But it is not difficult to verify them for 31 ≤ pm ≤ e14 . Note, if more
informations, then it should be taken ℜm < 0 , not Cm < 1 , for 263 ≤ pm ≤ e14 , by reason of the limited values
of MATLAB 6.5. The table 2 shows the values ℜ m for 93109 ≤ m ≤ 93118 .
Of course, all the values in the table 1 and the table 2 are approximate.

The algorithm for ℜm to ω ( n ) = m by matlab is as follows:
Function Pi-Index, clc, gamma=0.57721566490153286060; format long
P= [2, 3, 5, 7,…,1202609]; M=length(P);
for m=1:M; p=P(1:m); q=1-1./p; F=-gamma+log(prod(1./q)); N1=sum(log(p.^1)); N2=(N1)^(1/2);
N3=(log(N1))^2; N4=N2*N3; N5=N1+N4; m, Pm, Rm=F-log(log(N5))
