Abstract: The Erd"os-Moser conjecture states that the Diophantine equation $S_k(m)=m^k$, where $S_k(m)=1^k+2^k+\mathrm{...}+(m-1{)}^k$, has no solution for positive integers $k$ and $m$ with $kgeq2$. We show that stronger conjectures about consecutive values of the function $S_k$, that seem to be more naturally, imply the Erd"os-Moser conjecture.
