Bacher's conjecture on Bernoulli-number numerator quotients
Bacher's conjecture on Bernoulli-number numerator quotients
Let be the Bernoulli numbers, let be an irregular pair with smallest when the index of irregularity , and let denote the numerator of a rational number . Define
Bacher's conjecture. Then .
This conjecture concerns the numerators of the Bernoulli-number quotients and and was suggested by Roland Bacher in connection with Integer Sequence A092291. The paper later gives an equivalent formulation in terms of irregular pairs and proves a criterion for when the claimed value is valid; the conjectural assertion is not resolved here.
