Square-free Integer - Squarefree Core

Squarefree Core

The multiplicative function is defined to map positive integers n to t-free numbers by reducing the exponents in the prime power representation modulo t:

The value set of, in particular, are the square-free integers. Their Dirichlet generating functions are

\sum_{n\ge 1}\frac{\mathrm{core}_t(n)}{n^s}
= \frac{\zeta(ts)\zeta(s-1)}{\zeta(ts-t)}.

OEIS representatives are  A007913 (t=2),  A050985 (t=3) and  A053165 (t=4).

Famous quotes containing the word core:

    True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
