A squarefreeness conjecture for Mersenne numbers
A squarefreeness conjecture for Mersenne numbers
Let be prime and set . The squarefreeness conjecture. There exists such that, if , then is squarefree. Squarefreeness would rule out repeated prime factors in sufficiently large prime-indexed Mersenne numbers; the source presents this as a conjecture following heuristic discussion.
