Kullback-Leibler divergence and primitive non-deficient numbers

Abstract

Let H(n) = Πp|npp-1 where p ranges over the primes which divide n. It is well known that if n is a primitive non-deficient number, then H(n) > 2. We examine inequalities of the form H(n)> 2 + f(n) for various functions f(n) where n is assumed to be primitive non-deficient and connect these inequalities to applying the Kullback-Leibler divergence to different probability distributions on the set of divisors of n.
