Notes to the Feit-Thompson conjecture. II. (Q617804): Difference between revisions

Feit and Thompson conjectured for distinct primes \(p < q\) that \(\frac{q^{p}-1}{q-1}\) never divides \(\frac{p^{q}-1}{p-1}\). The author proves this for \(p=3\) and \(q\not\equiv -1\pmod 9\); \(p=5\) and \(q=5l-1\) with \(5 \nmid l\). For Part I, see Proc. Japan Acad., Ser. A 85, No. 2, 16--17 (2009; Zbl 1228.11005).
