For every prime number $q_{n}$, we define the inequality $\prod_{q \leq q_{n}} \frac{q}{q-1} > e^{\gamma} \times \log\theta(q_{n})$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. This is known as the Nicolas inequality. The Nicolas criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the Nicolas inequality is satisfied for all primes $q_{n} > 2$. We prove indeed that the Nicolas inequality is satisfied for all primes $q_{n} > 2$. In this way, we show that the Riemann hypothesis is true.

Robin criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma } \times n \times \log \log n$ holds for all $n > 5040$, where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum-of-divisors function and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We prove in another paper that the Robin inequality is true for all $n > 5040$ which are not divisible by any prime number between $2$ and $953$. Using this result, we show there is a contradiction just assuming the possible smallest counterexample $n > 5040$ of the Robin inequality. In this way, we prove that the Robin inequality is true for all $n > 5040$ and thus, the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

We show that the Robin inequality is true for all $n > 5040$ which are not divisible by any prime number between $2$ and $953$. We prove that the Robin inequality holds when $\frac{\pi^{2}}{6} \times \log\log n' \leq \log\log n$ for some $n>5040$ where $n'$ is the square free kernel of the natural number $n$. The possible smallest counterexample $n > 5040$ of the Robin inequality complies that necessarily $(\log n)^{\beta} < 1.2592\times\log(N_{m})$, where $N_{m} = \prod_{i = 1}^{m} q_{i}$ is the primorial number of order $m$ and $\beta = \prod_{i = 1}^{m} \frac{q_{i}^{a_{i}+1}}{q_{i}^{a_{i}+1}-1}$ when $n$ is an Hardy-Ramanujan integer of the form $\prod_{i=1}^{m} q_{i}^{a_{i}}$.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finitely generated subgroup of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a prime number for which the reduction group [Formula: see text] is a well-defined subgroup of the multiplicative group [Formula: see text], and denote the order of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we study the average of [Formula: see text] and the average of the powers of [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] ranges over prime numbers. The problem was considered in the case of rank 1 by Pomerance and Kurlberg. In the case when [Formula: see text] contains only positive numbers, we give an explicit expression for the involved density in terms of an Euler product. We conclude with some numerical computations.

AbstractLet q ≥ 3, 2 ≤ r ≤ φ(q) and a1, . . ., ar be distinct residue classes modulo q that are relatively prime to q. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) and the Linear Independence Hypothesis (LI), M. Rubinstein and P. Sarnak [11] showed that the vector-valued function Eq;a1, . . ., ar(x) = (E(x;q,a1), . . ., E(x;q,ar)), where $E(x;q,a)= ({\log x}/{\sqrt{x}})(\phi(q)\pi(x;q,a)-\pi(x))$, has a limiting distribution μq;a1, . . ., ar which is absolutely continuous on $\mathbb{R}^r$. Furthermore, they proved that for r fixed, μq;a1, . . ., ar tends to a multidimensional Gaussian as q → ∞. In the present paper, we determine the exact rate of this convergence, and investigate the asymptotic behavior of the large deviations of μq;a1, . . ., ar.

In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$. For every prime number $p_{n}$, we define the sequence $X_{n} = \prod_{q \leq p_{n}} \frac{q}{q-1} - e^{\gamma} \times \log \theta(p_{n})$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. The Nicolas criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if $X_{n} > 0$ holds for all primes $p_{n} > 2$. For every prime number $p_{k} > 2$, $X_{k} > 0$ is called the Nicolas inequality. We prove that the Nicolas inequality holds for all primes $p_{n} > 2$. In this way, we demonstrate that the Riemann hypothesis is true.
