The modular Erdős–Burgess constant conjecture

Let n>1n>1 be an integer, and let R=ZnR=\mathbb{Z}_n be the ring of integers modulo nn. The modular Erdős–Burgess constant conjecture.

I(SR)=D(R×)+Ω(n)ω(n).{\rm I}(\mathcal{S}_R)={\rm D}(R^{\times})+\Omega(n)-\omega(n).

This conjecture gives an exact formula for the Erdős–Burgess constant of the multiplicative semigroup of RR. The formula is proved in the paper when nn is a prime power or a product of distinct primes, but remains open for general nn.
