The first few irregulär primes are 37, 59, 67, 101, 103, 131, 149 (for longer lists, see [7], or [1], pp. 430—431, and [4]). The number of irregulär primes is known to be infinite; a short proof for this, due to Carlitz [2], can be found in [1], pp. 381—382. Jensen [3] proved in 1915 that there exist infinitely many irregulär primes l (mod 4). Montgomery [6] generalized this by replacing 4 by any integer > 2. In this note we shall give a further generalization, by proving the following theorem.

The irregular primes to 125000
We have determined the irregular primes below 125000 and tabulated their distribution. Two primes of index five of irregularity were found, namely 78233 and 94693. Fermat's Last Theorem has been…

Forbidden Integer Ratios of Consecutive Power Sums
Let S k (m): = 1 k + 2 k + ⋯ + (m − 1) k denote a power sum. In 2011 Bernd Kellner formulated the conjecture that for m ≥ 4 the ratio S k (m + 1)∕S k (m) of two consecutive power sums is never an…

A note on the irregular primes with respect to Euler polynomials
An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides at least one of the integers $$2E_{1}(0),2^{3}E_{3}(0),\ldots,2^{p-2}E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_{n}(x)$ is the $n$th…
