Variants of Korselt's Criterion

Number Theory 2014-11-25 v1

Abstract

Under sufficiently strong assumptions about the first term in an arithmetic progression, we prove that for any integer aa, there are infinitely many nNn\in \mathbb N such that for each prime factor pnp|n, we have panap-a|n-a. This can be seen as a generalization of Carmichael numbers, which are integers nn such that p1n1p-1|n-1 for every pnp|n.
