Erdős Problem 1055: Selfridge Limit

A prime $p$ is in class $1$ if the only prime divisors of $p+1$ are $2$ or $3$ . In general, a prime $p$ is in class $r$ if every prime factor of $p+1$ is in some class $\leq r-1$ , with equality for at least one prime factor. If $p_r$ is the least prime in c...

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
