In number theory, Jordan's totient function, denoted as J k ( n ) {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)} , where k {\displaystyle k} is a positive integer, is a function of a positive integer, n {\displaystyle n} , that equals the number of k {\displaystyle k} -tuples of positive integers that are less than or equal to n {\displaystyle n} and that together with n {\displaystyle n} form a coprime set of k + 1 {\displaystyle k+1} integers.
Jordan's totient function is a generalization of Euler's totient function, which is the same as J 1 ( n ) {\displaystyle J_{1}(n)} . The function is named after Camille Jordan.

Definition
For each positive integer k {\displaystyle k} , Jordan's totient function J k {\displaystyle J_{k}} is multiplicative and may be evaluated as
J k ( n ) = n k ∏ ∏ p | n ( 1 − − 1 p k ) {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)=n^{k}\prod _{p|n}\left(1-{\frac {1}{p^{k}}}\right)\,} , where p {\displaystyle p} ranges through the prime divisors of n {\displaystyle n} .
Properties
• ∑ ∑ d | n J k ( d ) = n k . {\displaystyle \sum _{d|n}J_{k}(d)=n^{k}.\,}
which may be written in the language of Dirichlet convolutions ascite-ref-1[1] J k ( n ) ⋆ ⋆ 1 = n k {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)\star 1=n^{k}\,}
and via Möbius inversion as J k ( n ) = μ μ ( n ) ⋆ ⋆ n k {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)=\mu (n)\star n^{k}} .
Since the Dirichlet generating function of μ μ {\displaystyle \mu } is 1 / ζ ζ ( s ) {\displaystyle 1/\zeta (s)} and the Dirichlet generating function of n k {\displaystyle n^{k}} is ζ ζ ( s − − k ) {\displaystyle \zeta (s-k)} , the series for J k {\displaystyle J_{k}} becomes ∑ ∑ n ≥ ≥ 1 J k ( n ) n s = ζ ζ ( s − − k ) ζ ζ ( s ) {\displaystyle \sum _{n\geq 1}{\frac {J_{k}(n)}{n^{s}}}={\frac {\zeta (s-k)}{\zeta (s)}}} .
• An average order of J k ( n ) {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)} is
J k ( n ) ∼ ∼ n k ζ ζ ( k + 1 ) {\displaystyle J_{k}(n)\sim {\frac {n^{k}}{\zeta (k+1)}}} .
• The Dedekind psi function is
ψ ψ ( n ) = J 2 ( n ) J 1 ( n ) {\displaystyle \psi (n)={\frac {J_{2}(n)}{J_{1}(n)}}} ,
and by inspection of the definition (recognizing that each factor in the product over the primes is a cyclotomic polynomial of p − − k {\displaystyle p^{-k}} ), the arithmetic functions defined by J k ( n ) J 1 ( n ) {\displaystyle {\frac {J_{k}(n)}{J_{1}(n)}}} or J 2 k ( n ) J k ( n ) {\displaystyle {\frac {J_{2k}(n)}{J_{k}(n)}}} can also be shown to be integer-valued multiplicative functions.
• ∑ ∑ δ δ ∣ ∣ n δ δ s J r ( δ δ ) J s ( n δ δ ) = J r + s ( n ) {\displaystyle \sum _{\delta \mid n}\delta ^{s}J_{r}(\delta )J_{s}\left({\frac {n}{\delta }}\right)=J_{r+s}(n)} .cite-ref-2[2]
Order of matrix groups
• The general linear group of matrices of order m {\displaystyle m} over Z / n {\displaystyle \mathbf {Z} /n} has ordercite-ref-3[3]
| GL ( m , Z / n ) | = n m ( m − − 1 ) 2 ∏ ∏ k = 1 m J k ( n ) . {\displaystyle |\operatorname {GL} (m,\mathbf {Z} /n)|=n^{\frac {m(m-1)}{2}}\prod _{k=1}^{m}J_{k}(n).}
• The special linear group of matrices of order m {\displaystyle m} over Z / n {\displaystyle \mathbf {Z} /n} has order
| SL ( m , Z / n ) | = n m ( m − − 1 ) 2 ∏ ∏ k = 2 m J k ( n ) . {\displaystyle |\operatorname {SL} (m,\mathbf {Z} /n)|=n^{\frac {m(m-1)}{2}}\prod _{k=2}^{m}J_{k}(n).}
• The symplectic group of matrices of order m {\displaystyle m} over Z / n {\displaystyle \mathbf {Z} /n} has order
| Sp ( 2 m , Z / n ) | = n m 2 ∏ ∏ k = 1 m J 2 k ( n ) . {\displaystyle |\operatorname {Sp} (2m,\mathbf {Z} /n)|=n^{m^{2}}\prod _{k=1}^{m}J_{2k}(n).}
The first two formulas were discovered by Jordan.
