The square-free palindrome conjecture in every base

Fix a base b2b\geq 2 and let n\overleftarrow{n} denote the integer obtained by reversing the base-bb digits of nn. A square-free palindrome is a positive integer that is square-free and equal to its digital reverse. Square-free palindrome conjecture. For every base b2b\geq 2, there are infinitely many square-free palindromes; that is, infinitely many integers n>0n>0 such that nn is square-free and n=nn=\overleftarrow{n}. The paper presents this as a weakening of the palindromic-prime conjecture and as more approachable with current methods.
