Infinitude conjecture for the sets of digit-sum classes

For each integer d2d\geq2, let Sd\mathcal{S}_d be the set defined in the source, and let S\mathcal{S} be their covering set. Let C\mathcal{C} denote the set of Carmichael numbers.

Infinitude conjecture for the sets of digit-sum classes. For each d2d\geq2, the sets Sd\mathcal{S}_d and SSd\mathcal{S}\setminus\mathcal{S}_d are infinite. Moreover, SC\mathcal{S}\setminus\mathcal{C} is infinite.

The conjecture concerns the distribution of the classes Sd\mathcal{S}_d within the covering set S\mathcal{S} and predicts that S\mathcal{S} contains infinitely many non-Carmichael numbers. The source does not provide a resolution.
