Definitions and mathematical statement
Shared notation.
$\mathbb N=\{1,2,\ldots\}$, and $\mathbb Z,\mathbb Q,\mathbb R,\mathbb C$ denote the integers, rationals, reals and complex numbers. Any other conventions are specified locally.For $n\in\mathbb N$, let $s(n)=\sum_{d\mid n,\ 1\le d<n}d$. Distinct positive integers $m,n$ are amicable if $s(m)=n$ and $s(n)=m$. They are relatively prime if $\gcd(m,n)=1$.
