Bernoulli--Seki nonvanishing consequence of regular-prime infinitude

For a non-negative integer nn, let BnB_n denote the nnth Bernoulli--Seki number, defined by

tetet1=n=0Bnn!tn.\frac{te^t}{e^t-1}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{B_n}{n!}t^n.

Bernoulli--Seki nonvanishing consequence. Let k3k\geq3 be an odd integer. Then, there exist infinitely many primes pp greater than kk such that pp does not divide BpkB_{p-k}. The paper states this as a consequence of the infinitude conjecture for regular primes, so it is open insofar as that conjecture remains open.
