Hi everyone.


I'd like to refer you to two papers by Arian Berdellima on odd perfect numbers:


More Properties About Odd Perfect Numbers


<http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/31587/1/MPRA_paper_31587.pdf>


Perfect numbers - a lower bound for an odd perfect number


<http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/31218/1/MPRA_paper_31218.pdf>


I have perused both papers, and the first paper in particular appears to have shown that the Euler prime of an odd perfect number must be at least 13.


Can anybody comment as to the merit(s) of these papers?



Question Re: Arian Berdellima's Papers On Odd Perfect Numbers
Dear Arnie,


In the first paper, "More properties about the odd perfect numbers", there is a flow in the statement of Little Fermat Theorem. The modular congruences that I have used should also satisfy p=1 (mod q) and q(i)=1(mod q(j)) in order for the results to be applicable. In the second paper there is no error as it was edited by few professors and also it was the topic of my senior thesis. 
My apologies for the misleading result.


Regards,
Arian Berdellima
