Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show, conditional on a uniform version of the prime k-tuples conjecture, that there are x/(log x)1+o(1) numbers not exceeding x common to the ranges of φ and σ. Here φ is Euler's totient function and σ is the sum-of-divisors function.
