Jenkins in 2003 showed that every odd perfect number is divisible by a prime exceeding 107. Using the properties of cyclotomic polynomials, we improve this result to show that every perfect number is divisible by a prime exceeding 108.

let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

In this article, we formalize the definition of divisible Z-module and its properties in the Mizar system [3]. We formally prove that any non-trivial divisible Z-modules are not finitely-generated. We introduce a divisible Z-module, equivalent to a vector space of a torsion-free Z-module with a coefficient ring Q. Z-modules are important for lattice problems, LLL (Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovász) b...

Relativizing an idea from multiplicity theory, we say that an element x of a von Neumann algebra M is n-divisible if W (x) ∩ M unitally contains a factor of type In. We decide the density of the n-divisible operators, for various n, M, and operator topologies. The most sensitive case is σ-strong density in II1 factors, which is closely related to the McDuff property. We make use of Voiculescu’s...

Existence of a monetary steady state is established in a random matching model with divisible goods, divisible money, an arbitrary bound on individual money holdings, and take-it-or-leave-it offers by consumers. The monetary steady state shown to exist has nice properties: the value function, defined on money holdings, is strictly increasing and strictly concave, and the distribution over money...
