A CONDITIONAL DENSITY FOR CARMICHAEL NUMBERS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 February 2020
Abstract
Under sufficiently strong assumptions about the first prime in an arithmetic progression, we prove that the number of Carmichael numbers up to $X$ is
$\gg X^{1-R}$, where
$R=(2+o(1))\log \log \log \log X/\text{log}\log \log X$. This is close to Pomerance’s conjectured density of
$X^{1-R}$ with
$R=(1+o(1))\log \log \log X/\text{log}\log X$.
