The 2-Mersenne divisor conjecture
Let be a 2-Mersenne prime and let . The polynomial sum-of-divisors function is denoted by . 2-Mersenne divisor conjecture. The integer is divisible by a non-Mersenne prime or by a non-2-Mersenne prime. The source presents this as one of two proposed conjectures concerning possible divisors of perfect polynomials; it gives motivation and conditional implications, but no resolution.
