The conjectured minimum of the prime-indexed density constants

For each prime pp, let δp\delta_p denote the density constant associated with the set of pp-Carmichael numbers, as defined by

δp:=limnC1[1,n]Cp[1,n].\delta_p:=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{|\mathfrak{C}_1\cap[1,n]|}{|\mathfrak{C}_p\cap[1,n]|}.

Density-minimum conjecture.

0.18<δ5<δpfor all prime pN{5}.0.18<\delta_5<\delta_p\quad\text{for all prime }p\in\mathbb{N}\setminus\{5\}.

This conjecture predicts that δ5\delta_5 is the smallest of the prime-indexed density constants and gives the numerical lower bound 0.180.18. The existence of the relevant limits is part of the preceding conjectural framework and is not proved in the supplied text.
