Let ppp be an odd prime with p≡1(mod4)p \equiv 1 \pmod 4p≡1(mod4), let mmm be odd with p∤mp \nmid mp∤m, and let s≥2s \ge 2s≥2 be a natural number. The Euler equation for an odd perfect number in Euler form with special exponent k=5k = 5k=5 has no Dris-index solution: the two relations 2m2=σ(p5)s2m^2 = \sigma(p^5)s2m2=σ(p5)s and σ(m2)=p5s\sigma(m^2) = p^5sσ(m2)=p5s cannot both hold. This is the nontrivial s≥2s \ge 2s≥2 case left after the case s=1s = 1s=1 is ruled out by the proved lemma σ(p5)≠2m2\sigma(p^5) \ne 2m^2σ(p5)=2m2 since 6∣5+16 \mid 5 + 16∣5+1.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
