The conjecture that almost all three-factor Carmichael numbers are primary

From papers

For x>0x>0, let C3(x)C_3(x) denote the number of three-factor Carmichael numbers at most xx, and let C3(x)C'_3(x) denote the number of primary three-factor Carmichael numbers at most xx. Primary Carmichael density conjecture. We have

limxC3(x)C3(x)=1.\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{C'_3(x)}{C_3(x)}=1.

The conjecture is motivated by computations and by applying Dickson's conjecture to the universal forms Ur(t)U_{\mathbf r}(t); it predicts that primary Carmichael numbers comprise asymptotically all three-factor Carmichael numbers, and remains open.
