The exponent-pair conjecture for weak Carmichael numbers

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let e,f,e′,f′e,f,e',f' be integers with 1≤e≤f1\le e\le f, e+f≥3e+f\ge 3, and likewise 1≤e′≤f′1\le e'\le f' and e′+f′≥3e'+f'\ge 3. Let Pw(e,f){\mathcal P}_w(e,f) denote the set of pairs (p,q)(p,q) of distinct primes such that peqf∈Cw(e,f)p^e q^f\in {\mathcal C}_w(e,f), where Cw(e,f){\mathcal C}_w(e,f) is the corresponding set of weak Carmichael numbers. Exponent-pair conjecture. If

Pw(e′,f′)=Pw(e,f),{\mathcal P}_w(e',f')={\mathcal P}_w(e,f),

then f=f′f=f' and e∣e′e\mid e', or e=e′e=e' and f∣f′f\mid f'. This conjecture describes when two exponent pairs determine the same prime-pair set; the source provides the inclusion in one direction and conjectures this converse, with no resolution stated.
