Amicable numbers

Published 5 Oct 2026 in math.NT | (2610.05661v1)

Abstract: Let $s(n):=\sum_{d\mid n,\,d < n} d$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of nn. Distinct positive integers n,mn,m form an amicable pair if s(n)=ms(n)=m and s(m)=ns(m)=n. Let A(x)A(x) count the positive integers not exceeding xx that belong to an amicable pair. We report on a proof, found by ChatGPT Astra, that A(x)≤xexp⁡−(1/2+o(1))log⁡x log⁡3x/log⁡2x A(x)\le x\exp{-(1/2+o(1))\log x\,\log_3 x/\log_2 x} as x→∞x\to\infty. Here log⁡k\log_k denotes the kkth iterate of the natural logarithm.
