Jordan's totient function
In number theory, Jordan's totient function, denoted as , where is a positive integer, is a function of a positive integer, , that equals the number of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "http://localhost:6011/en.wikipedia.org/v1/":): {\displaystyle k} -tuples of positive integers that are less than or equal to and that together with form a coprime set of integers.
Jordan's totient function is a generalization of Euler's totient function, which is the same as . The function is named after Camille Jordan.
Definition
[edit]For each positive integer , Jordan's totient function is multiplicative and may be evaluated as
- , where ranges through the prime divisors of .
Properties
[edit]- which may be written in the language of Dirichlet convolutions as[1]
- and via Möbius inversion as
- .
- Since the Dirichlet generating function of is and the Dirichlet generating function of is , the series for becomes
- .
- An average order of is
- .
- The Dedekind psi function is
- ,
- and by inspection of the definition (recognizing that each factor in the product over the primes is a cyclotomic polynomial of ), the arithmetic functions defined by or can also be shown to be integer-valued multiplicative functions.

Order of matrix groups
[edit]- The general linear group of matrices of order over has order[3]
- The special linear group of matrices of order over has order
- The symplectic group of matrices of order over has order
The first two formulas were discovered by Jordan.
Examples
[edit]- Explicit lists in the OEIS are J2 in OEIS: A007434, J3 in OEIS: A059376, J4 in OEIS: A059377, J5 in OEIS: A059378, J6 up to J10 in OEIS: A069091 up to OEIS: A069095.
- Multiplicative functions defined by ratios are J2(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A001615, J3(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160889, J4(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160891, J5(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160893, J6(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160895, J7(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160897, J8(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160908, J9(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160953, J10(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160957, J11(n)/J1(n) in OEIS: A160960.
- Examples of the ratios J2k(n)/Jk(n) are J4(n)/J2(n) in OEIS: A065958, J6(n)/J3(n) in OEIS: A065959, and J8(n)/J4(n) in OEIS: A065960.
