The Prime Pages

GIMPS has discovered a new largest known prime number: 282589933-1 (24,862,048 digits)

The Prime Pages keeps a list of the 5000 largest known primes, plus a few each of certain selected archivable forms and classes. These forms are defined in this collection's home page. This page is about one of those forms. Comments and suggestions requested.

(up) Definitions and Notes

David Broadhurst writes: The Lucas numbers are defined by L(n) = L(n-1)+L(n-2), with L(0) = 2 and L(1) = 1. It follows that
L(n) = ρn + (-ρ)-n,

where ρ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio. They are related to the Fibonacci numbers

F(n) = ρn-(-ρ)-n
√5

by L(n)=F(2n)/F(n), for n ± 0. The primitive part of L(n) is

L*(n) = F2n(-ρ2)
ρf(2n)
 ,
for n > 1. With L*(1) = 1, the factorization
L(2rk) =
∏
d|k 		L*(2rd),

results, for r ± 0 and odd k.

When n=5k, with odd k, there is also an Aurifeuillian factorization

L(5k) = L(k)A(5k)B(5k),
A(5k) = 5F(k)(F(k)-1)+1,
B(5k) = 5F(k)(F(k)+1)+1.
The Lucas Aurifeuillian primitive parts of L*(n) = A*(n)B*(n) are
A*(n) = gcd(L*(n),A(n)), B*(n) = gcd (L*(n),B(n)),
for n=5 (mod 10). They may be computed in terms of the Möbius transformations
A±(n) =
∏
d|n
d2 = ±1 (mod 5)
A(n/d)m(d), B±(n) =
∏
d|n
d2 = ±1 (mod 5)
B(n/d)m(d),
which are not, in general, integers. The integer-valued primitive parts are
A*(n) = A+(n)B-(n), B*(n) = B+(n)A-(n),
with n = 5 (mod 10).
A*(n) is prime for n = 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 125, 145, 165, 185, 275, 335, 355, 535, 655, 735, 805, 925, 955, 1095, 1195, 1215, 1275, 1305, 1325, 1435, 1575, 1655, 1765, 2015, 2205, 2715, 2745, 2885, 3905, 3935, 4275, 5705, 5995, 7755, 8565, and for no other n < 104.
B*(n) is prime for n = 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 75, 85, 105, 145, 155, 165, 185, 225, 255, 305, 315, 325, 335, 355, 365, 375, 475, 485, 525, 565, 575, 635, 695, 715, 765, 885, 1235, 1325, 1375, 1515, 2255, 2285, 3085, 3185, 3355, 3565, 3745, 3885, 4325, 4995, 5525, 5915, 6195, 6565, 6975, 6995, 7785, 8855, 9435, 9925, and for no other n < 104.

A*(n) and B*(n) are simultaneously prime for n = 25, 35, 45, 75, 85, 105, 145, 165, 185, 335, 355, 1325, and for no other n < 105.
