CARMICHAEL NUMBERS IN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2013
Abstract
We prove that when $(a, m)= 1$ and $a$ is a quadratic residue $\hspace{0.167em} \mathrm{mod} \hspace{0.167em} m$, there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers in the arithmetic progression $a\hspace{0.167em} \mathrm{mod} \hspace{0.167em} m$. Indeed the number of them up to $x$ is at least ${x}^{1/ 5} $ when $x$ is large enough (depending on $m$).
