We extend our previous computations to show that there are 246683 Carmichael numbers up to $10^{16}$. As before, the numbers were generated by a back-tracking search for possible prime factorisations together with a ``large prime variation''. We present further statistics on the distribution of Carmichael numbers.

Bounds and other relations involving variables connected with Carmichael numbers are reviewed and extended. Families of numbers or individual numbers attaining or approaching these bounds are given. A new algorithm for finding three-prime Carmichael numbers is described, with its implementation up to $10^{24}$. Statistics relevant to the distribution of three-prime Carmichael numbers are given, with particular reference to the conjecture of Granville and Pomerance in [A.Granville and C.Pomerance, Two contradictory conjectures concerning Carmichael numbers, Math. Comp. 71 (2001), 883-908].

We prove some new lower bounds for the counting function $\mathcal N_{\mathcal C}(x)$ of the set of Novák-Carmichael numbers. Our estimates depend on the bounds for the number of shifted primes without large prime factors. In particular, we prove that $\mathcal N_{\mathcal C}(x) \gg x^{0.7039-o(1)}$ unconditionally and that $\mathcal N_{\mathcal C}(x) \gg xe^{-(7+o(1))(\log x)\frac{\log\log\log x}{\log\log x}}$, under some reasonable hypothesis.
Let $m$ be a Carmichael number and let $L$ be the least common multiple of $p-1$, where $p$ runs over the prime factors of $m$. We determine all the Carmichael numbers $m$ with a Fermat prime factor such that $L=2^αP^2$, where $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and $P$ is an odd prime number. There are eleven such Carmichael numbers.
We extend our previous computations to show that there are 585355 Carmichael numbers up to $10^{17}$. As before, the numbers were generated by a back-tracking search for possible prime factorisations together with a ``large prime variation''. We present further statistics on the distribution of Carmichael numbers.

We have constructed a Carmichael number with 10,333,229,505 prime factors, and have also constructed Carmichael numbers with k prime factors for every k between 3 and 19,565,220. These computations are the product of implementations of two new algorithms for the subset product problem that exploit the non-uniform distribution of primes p with the property that p-1 divides a highly composite Λ.
In this paper, we study the properties of Carmichael numbers, false positives to several primality tests. We provide a classification for Carmichael numbers with a proportion of Fermat witnesses of less than 50%, based on if the smallest prime factor is greater than a determined lower bound. In addition, we conduct a Monte Carlo simulation as part of a probabilistic algorithm to detect if a given composite number is Carmichael. We modify this highly accurate algorithm with a deterministic primality test to create a novel, more efficient algorithm that differentiates between Carmichael numbers …
A composite positive integer $n$ is said to be a {\it weak Carmichael number} if $$ \sum_{\gcd(k,n)=1\atop 1\le k\le n-1}k^{n-1}\equiv φ(n) \pmod{n}. \leqno(1) $$ It is proved that a composite positive integer $n$ is a weak Carmichael number if and only if $p-1\mid n-1$ for every prime divisor $p$ of $n$. This together with Korselt's criterion yields the fact that every Carmichael number is also a weak Carmichael number. In this paper we mainly investigate arithmetic properties of weak Carmichael numbers. Motivated by the investigations of Carmichael numbers in the last hundred years, here we …
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 reduction at all primes dividing n and (n+1-a_n)P = 0 (mod n). Then n is an elliptic Carmichael number for E if n is an elliptic pseudoprime for every P in E(Z/nZ). In this note we describe two elliptic analogues of Korselt's criterion for Carmichael numbers, and we analyze elliptic Carmichael numbers of the form pq.
In 1987, Dan Gordon defined an elliptic curve analogue to Carmichael numbers known as elliptic Carmichael numbers. In this paper, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic Carmichael numbers. In doing so, we resolve in the affirmative the question of whether there exist infinitely square-free, composite integers $n$ such that for every prime $p$ that divides $n$, $p+1|n+1$.
We define a variant of the Miller-Rabin primality test, which is in between Miller-Rabin and Fermat in terms of strength. We show that this test has infinitely many "Carmichael" numbers. We show that the test can also be thought of as a variant of the Solovay-Strassen test. We explore the growth of the test's "Carmichael" numbers, giving some empirical results and a discussion of one particularly strong pattern which appears in the results.

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 $E$ with good reduction modulo $n$, is bounded above by $\mathcal{O}(\log^{-1} n)$. If we choose both $n$ and $E$ at random, the probability that $n$ is $E$-carmichael is bounded above by $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1/8+ε})$.

Lehmer's totient problem asks if there exist composite integers n satisfying the condition phi(n)|(n-1), (where phi is the Euler-phi function) while Carmichael numbers satisfy the weaker condition lambda(n)|(n-1) (where lambda is the Carmichael universal exponent function). We weaken the condition further, looking at those composite n where each prime divisor of phi(n) also divides n-1. (So rad(phi(n))|(n-1).) While these numbers appear to be far more numerous than the Carmichael numbers, we show that their distribution has the same rough upper bound as that of the Carmichael numbers, a bound …

Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient condition for the infinitude of $C_k$. Moreover, we prove that there are finitely many elements in $C_k$ with one and two prime factors if and only if $k>0$ and $k$ is prime. In addition, if all but two prime factors of $n \in C_k$ are fixed, then there are finitely many elements in $C_k$, excluding certain infinite families of $n$. We also give conjectures abou…
We prove that for each odd number k, the sequence (k2^n+1)_{n\ge 1} contains only a finite number of Carmichael numbers. We also prove that k=27 is the smallest value for which such a sequence contains some Carmichael number.

We give an upper bound for the number elliptic Carmichael numbers $n \le x$ that have recently been introduced by J. H. Silverman. We also discuss several possible ways for further improvements.
We propose a generalization of Carmichael numbers, where the multiplicative group $\mathbb G_\mathrm{m} = \mathrm{GL}(1)$ is replaced by $\mathrm{GL}(m)$ for $m\geq 2$. We prove basic properties of these families of numbers and give some examples.
In this paper, we prove that for any $a,M\in \mathbb N$ with $(a,M)=1$, there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers $m$ such that $m\equiv a$ mod $M$
Improving on some recent results of Matomäki and of Wright, we show that the number of Carmichael numbers to $X$ in a coprime residue class exceeds $X^{1/(6\log\log\log X)}$ for all sufficiently large $X$ depending on the modulus of the residue class.
In this paper, we prove that there are infinitely many $n$ for which $rad(φ(n))|n-1$ but $n$ is not a Carmichael number. Additionally, we prove that for any $k\geq 3$, there exist infinitely many $n$ such that $φ(n)|(n-1)^k$ but $φ(n)\nmid (n-1)^{k-1}$. The constructs that we consider here are generalizations of Carmichael and Lehmer numbers, respectively, that were first formulated by Grau and Oller-Marcén.

Carmichael Numbers in All Possible Arithmetic Progressions

In this work we consider the congruence $\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} j^{k(n-1)} \equiv -1 \pmod n$ for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, thus extending Giuga's ideas for $k=1$. In particular, it is proved that a pair $(n,k)\in \mathbb{N}^2$ satisfies this congruence if and only if $n$ is prime or a Giuga Number and $λ(n) \mid k(n-1)$. In passing, we establish new characterizations of Giuga numbers and we study some properties of the numbers $n$ satisfying $λ(n) \mid k(n-1)$.
Erdős conjectured in 1956 that there are $x^{1-o(1)}$ Carmichael numbers up to $x$. Pomerance made this conjecture more precise and proposed that there are $x^{1-{\frac{\{1+o(1)\}\log\log\log x}{\log\log x}}}$ Carmichael numbers up to $x$. At the time, his data tables up to $25 \cdot 10^{9}$ appeared to support his conjecture. However, Pinch extended this data and showed that up to $10^{21}$, Pomerance's conjecture did not appear well-supported. Thus, the purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we build upon the work of Pomerance and others to present an alternate conjecture regarding the di…

We define a Carmichael number of order m to be a composite integer n such that nth-power raising defines an endomorphism of every Z/nZ-algebra that can be generated as a Z/nZ-module by m elements. We give a simple criterion to determine whether a number is a Carmichael number of order m, and we give a heuristic argument (based on an argument of Erdos for the usual Carmichael numbers) that indicates that for every m there should be infinitely many Carmichael numbers of order m. The argument suggests a method for finding examples of higher-order Carmichael numbers; we use the method to provide e…
The Carmichael lambda function $λ(n)$ is defined to be the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $a^m \equiv 1 \pmod{n}$ for all $(a,n)=1.$ $λ_k(n)$ is defined to be the $k$th iterate of $λ(n).$ Let L(n) be the smallest $k$ for which $λ_k(n)=1.$ It's easy to show that $L(n) \ll \log n.$ It's conjectured that $L(n)\asymp \log\log n,$ but previously it was not known to be $o(\log n)$ for almost all $n.$ We will show that $L(n) \ll (\log n)^δ$ for almost all $n,$ for some $δ<1.$ We will also show $L(n) \gg \log\log n$ for almost all $n$ and conjecture a normal order for L(n).
Lehmer's totient problem consists of determining the set of positive integers $n$ such that $φ(n)|n-1$ where $φ$ is Euler's totient function. In this paper we introduce the concept of $k$-Lehmer number. A $k$-Lehmer number is a composite number such that $φ(n)|(n-1)^k$. The relation between $k$-Lehmer numbers and Carmichael numbers leads to a new characterization of Carmichael numbers and to some conjectures related to the distribution of Carmichael numbers which are also $k$-Lehmer numbers.
Iteration of the modular l-th power function f(x) = x^l (mod n) provides a common pseudorandom number generator (known as the Blum-Blum-Shub generator when l=2). The period of this pseudorandom number generator is closely related to λ(λ(n)), where λ(n) denotes Carmichael's function, namely the maximal multiplicative order of any integer modulo n. In this paper, we show that for almost all n, the size of λ(λ(n)) is n/exp((1+o(1))(log log n)^2 log log log n). We conjecture an analogous formula for the k-th iterate of λ. We deduce that for almost all n, the psuedorandom number generator described…

In this work, we obtain some new lower bounds for the number $\mathcal N_B(x)$ of Novák numbers less than or equal to $x$. We also prove, conditionally on Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the upper estimates for the number of primes dividing at least one Novák number and give description for the prime factors of Novák numbers $N$, such that $2N$ is a Novák-Carmichael number.
The structure of the group $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^\star$ and Fermat's little theorem are the basis for some of best-known primality testing algorithms. Many related concepts arise: Euler's totient function and Carmichael's lambda function, Fermat pseudoprimes, Carmichael and cyclic numbers, Lehmer's totient problem, Giuga's conjecture, etc. In this paper, we present and study analogues to some of the previous concepts arising when we consider the underlying group $\mathcal{G}_n:=\{a+bi\in\mathbb{Z}[i]/n\mathbb{Z}[i] : a^2+b^2\equiv 1\ \textrm{$\pmod n$}\}$. In particular we characterize Gau…
Motivated by Carmichael numbers, we say that a finite ring $R$ is a Carmichael ring if $a^{|R|}=a$ for any $a \in R$. We then call an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ as a Carmichael ideal if $R/I$ is a Carmichael ring, and a Carmichael element of $R$ means it generates a Carmichael ideal. In this paper, we determine the structure of Carmichael rings and prove a generalization of Korselt's criterion for Carmichael ideals in Dedekind domains. We also study Carmichael elements of polynomial rings over finite fields (called Carmichael polynomials) by generalizing various classical results. For example, we…
Tabulating Absolute Lucas Pseudoprimes

Carmichael showed for sufficiently large $L$, that $F_L$ has at least one prime divisor that is $\pm 1({\rm mod}\, L)$. For a given $F_L$, we will show that a product of distinct odd prime divisors with that congruence condition is a Fibonacci pseudoprime. Such pseudoprimes can be used in an attempt, here unsuccessful, to find an example of a Baillie-PSW pseudoprime, i.e.\ an odd Fibonacci pseudoprime that is congruent to $\pm 2({\rm mod}\, 5)$ and is also a base-2 pseudoprime.
Quantum computers can solve many number theory problems efficiently. Using the efficient quantum algorithm for order finding as an oracle, this paper presents an algorithm that computes the Carmichael function for any integer $N$ with a probability as close to 1 as desired. The algorithm requires $O((\log n )^3n^3)$ quantum operations, or $O(\log\log n (\log n)^4 n^2)$ operations using fast multiplication. Verification, quantum optimizations and applications to RSA and primality tests are also discussed.
Suppose that $α,β\in\mathbb{R}$. Let $α\geqslant1$ and $c$ be a real number in the range $1<c< 12/11$. In this paper, it is proved that there exist infinitely many primes in the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequence, which is defined by $(\lfloorαn^c+β\rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty$. Moreover, we also prove that there exist infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed entirely of primes from the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequences with $c\in(1,\frac{19137}{18746})$. The two theorems constitute improvements upon previous results by Guo and Qi.
In this work we present a natural generalization of strong pseudoprime to base $b$, which we have called $q$-pseudoprime to base $b$. It allows us to present another way to define a Midy's number to base $b$ (overpseudoprime to base $b$). Besides, we count the bases $b$ such that $N$ is a $q$-probable prime base $b$ and those ones such that $N$ is a Midy's number to base $b$. Furthemore, we prove that there is not a concept analogous to Carmichael numbers to $q$-probable prime to base $b$ as with the concept of strong pseudoprimes to base $b$.
We consider various arithmetic questions for the Piatetski-Shapiro sequences $\fl{n^c}$ ($n=1,2,3,...$) with $c>1$, $c\not\in\N$. We exhibit a positive function $θ(c)$ with the property that the largest prime factor of $\fl{n^c}$ exceeds $n^{θ(c)-\eps}$ infinitely often. For $c\in(1,\tfrac{149}{87})$ we show that the counting function of natural numbers $n\le x$ for which $\fl{n^c}$ is squarefree satisfies the expected asymptotic formula. For $c\in(1,\tfrac{147}{145})$ we show that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed entirely of primes of the form $p=\fl{n^c}$.
We study the question of whether for each n there is another integer m with lambda(m)=lambda(n), where lambda is Carmichael's function. We give a "near" proof of the fact that this is the case unconditionally, and a complete conditional proof under the Extended Riemann Hypothesis. The main tool is a count of prime chains from paper arXiv:0906.3380.
