OEIS A306270

Thomas Ordowski’s 2020 comment conjectures the classification of every semiprime greater than four in A306270 by the semiprime family A190275.

  • URL: https://oeis.org/A306270
  • A306270 %N (verbatim): Composite numbers k such that b^(k(k-1)) == 1 (mod k^2) for every b coprime to k.
  • A306270 %O (verbatim): 1,1
  • A306270 %C (verbatim): These are composites k such that lambda(k^2) divides k(k-1), where lambda is the Carmichael function A002322.
  • A306270 %C (verbatim): Conjecture: all semiprimes > 4 in this sequence are in A190275. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 19 2020
  • A306270 %C (verbatim): The conjecture was verified up to 1063290841. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 19 2020
  • A190275 %N (verbatim): Semiprimes of the form p*(p^2 - p + 1).

Readings of 2026-09-16: the OEIS entry still marks the line Conjecture (2020-07-19) with only Eldar’s finite verification to 1063290841; OpenAlex "A306270" 0 hits; Math.SE API A306270 0 hits and b^(k(k-1)) mod k^2 semiprime 0 hits; GitHub code search in google-deepmind/formal-conjectures 0 hits. The Carmichael-function facts used are textbook; the named classification itself was not found in these surfaces.
