Eswarathasan–Levine conjecture on infinitely many harmonic primes
Let be the th harmonic number. For a prime , define
where is the -adic valuation. For every , the set contains , , and . A harmonic prime is a prime such that .
Eswarathasan–Levine conjecture. There are infinitely many harmonic primes.
The conjecture was suggested by Eswarathasan and Levine. Boyd's probabilistic model gives the quantitative refinement that harmonic primes should have density among all primes; neither this refinement nor the infinitude assertion is established in the source.
