Erdős Problem 647 #

Reference: erdosproblems.com/647

theorem Erdos647.erdos_647 :
(∃ n > 24, ⨆ (m : Fin n), m + (ArithmeticFunction.sigma 0) m n + 2) sorry

Let $\tau(n)$ count the number of divisors of $n$. Is there some $n > 24$ such that $$ \max_{m < n}(m + \tau(n)) \leq n + 2? $$

This is true for $n = 24$.

Erdős says 'it is extremely doubtful' that there are infinitely many such $n$, and in fact suggests that $$ lim_{n\to\infty} \max_{m < n}(\tau(m) + m − n) = \infty. $$

theorem Erdos647.erdos_647.variants.infinite :
(∀ (k : ), {n : | ⨆ (m : (Set.Ioo (n - k) n)), m + (ArithmeticFunction.sigma 0) m n + 2}.Infinite) sorry

Erdős says it 'seems certain' that for every $k$ there are infinitely many $n$ for which $$ \max_{n−k < m < n}(m + \tau(m)) ≤ n + 2. $$
