Erdős–Rosenfeld conjecture on divisors near the square root
Erdős–Rosenfeld conjecture on divisors near the square root
Let be a positive integer, and let be a real number. Consider the divisors of in the interval
Erdős–Rosenfeld conjecture. There is an absolute constant such that, for every , the number of such divisors is at most whenever .
The conjecture asks whether every positive integer has only boundedly many divisors in a short interval around its square root. The source reports results for perfect squares and almost squares, but does not state that the conjecture is resolved in general.
