Erdős Problem 470 #

Reference: erdosproblems.com/470

Primitive weird numbers are weird numbers such that no proper divisor of $n$ are weird.

Equations
Instances For

    The abundancy index is the sum of the divisors of $n$ divided by $n$.

      Are there any odd weird numbers?

      Are there infinitely many primitive weird numbers?

      Benkoski and Erdős BeEr74 proved that the set of weird numbers has positive density.

      The smallest weird number is 70.

      Melfi Me15 has proved that there are infinitely many primitive weird numbers, conditional on the fact that $p_{n+1} - p_n < \frac{1}{10} p_n^{1/2}$ for all large $n$, which in turn would follow from well-known conjectures concerning prime gaps.

      Fang Fa22 has shown there are no odd weird numbers below $10^21$.

      Liddy and Riedl LiRi18 have shown that an odd weird number must have at least 6 prime divisors.

      theorem Erdos470.erdos_470.variants.abundancy_index :
      (∀ (n : ), n.Weird¬Odd n)∀ (n : ), n.WeirdAbundancyIndex n < 4

      If there are no odd weird numbers then every weird number has abundancy index < 4.
