We prove that there exist infinitely many (-1,1)-Carmichael numbers, that is, square-free, composite integers n such that p+1 divides n-1 for each prime p dividing n.

We show that universal elliptic Carmichael numbers do not exist, answering a question of Silverman. Moreover, we show that the probability that an integer $n$, which is not a prime power, is an elliptic Carmichael number for a random curve…

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve, let L(E,s)=\sum a_n/n^s be the L-series of E/Q, and let P be a point in E(Q). An integer n > 2 having at least two distinct prime factors will be be called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P) if E has good…

Under sufficiently strong assumptions about the first term in an arithmetic progression, we prove that for any integer $a$, there are infinitely many $n\in \mathbb N$ such that for each prime factor $p|n$, we have $p-a|n-a$. This can be…

In this short paper we shall prove that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $[\alpha p]$, $[\alpha p]+1$, where $p$ is prime and $\alpha>0$ is irrational algebraic number. We also establish an asymptotic…

In 1960, W. Sierpinski proved that there are infinitely many positive odd numbers $k$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is a composite number. Such numbers are called "Sierpinski numbers". In this study, by using…

We prove that every arithmetic progression either contains infinitely many Carmichael numbers or none at all. Furthermore, there is a simple criterion for determining which category a given arithmetic progression falls into. In particular,…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ be a quadratic field for an odd prime $p$. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which no elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has torsion subgroup $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$. We say that a prime number $p$ is exceptional for $(E,K)$ if $E$ admits a $p$-isogeny defined over $K$. The so-called exceptional set of all such prime numbers is finite if and…

Given a positive integer $n$, we let ${\rm sfp}(n)$ denote the squarefree part of $n$. We determine all positive integers $n$ for which $\max \{ {\rm sfp}(n), {\rm sfp}(n+1), {\rm sfp}(n+2) \} \leq 150$ by relating the problem to finding…

Under the assumption of Heath-Brown's conjecture on the first prime in an arithmetic progression, we prove that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers $n$ such that the number of prime factors of $n$ is prime.
