Abstract: Let $vfi$ be Euler's function, $ga$ be Euler's constant and $N_k$ be the product of the first $k$ primes. In this article, we consider the function $c(n)=(n/vfi(n)-e^{g}aloglogn)sqrtlogn$. Under Riemann's hypothesis, it is proved that $c(N_k)$ is bounded and explicit bounds are given while, if Riemann's hypothesis fails, $c(N_k)$ is not bounded above or below.

Review text

The author studies the function NEWLINE\[NEWLINEc(n)= \Biggl({n\over\varphi(n)}- e^\gamma\log\log n\Biggr)\sqrt{\log n}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE He proves that several explicit bounds for \(c(n)\) are equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. One of these upper bounds is NEWLINE\[NEWLINEc(n)\leq c\Biggl(\prod_{1\leq k\leq 66} p_k\Biggr)= 4,06\dots;NEWLINE\]NEWLINE here \(p_1< p_2<\cdots\) denotes the series of primes.
