A weighted twentieth-moment divisor bound #
Squaring the elementary tenth-moment estimate would give
τ(n)^20 ≤ 2^894 n^2. That loses the fractional part of every
prime-factor penalty before the square is taken. Charging the doubled
weight directly preserves those fractional parts and gives the stronger
uniform estimate
τ(n)^20 ≤ 2^796 n^2.
The proof uses the same finite-band induction as the tenth-moment bound. It does not enumerate integers, factorizations, or neighboring divisor profiles.
The exact integer penalty bands for the weight pair (20, 2).
