The symmetric 4-term amicable-pair conjecture
The symmetric 4-term amicable-pair conjecture
Let and be a symmetric higher-order amicable pair, with denoting the relevant prime factors. Define and through the normalized expressions associated with , , and the sum described in the preceding results. Symmetric 4-term conjecture. The relationship between the symmetric polynomials in the prime factors is hypothesized to satisfy
This proposes a higher-order symmetric extension of the factorization patterns established earlier for amicable pairs whose greatest common divisor is a power of two.
