Primality conjecture for integers of the form am+1am+1

About 6 years old · traced to

Let n=am+1n=am+1, where aa and mm are positive integers, and let pp be the least prime divisor of mm. Primality conjecture. If a<pa<p and m∣ϕ(n)m\mid\phi(n), then nn is prime. This conjecture would generalize the preceding primality criterion from numbers of the form apk+1ap^k+1 to a broader class of integers. The source reports substantial experimental evidence but does not establish the converse or otherwise resolve the conjecture.
