Erdős Problem 695

Let q1<q2<q_1 < q_2 < \cdots be a sequence of primes such that qi+11(modqi)q_{i + 1} \equiv 1 \pmod{q_i}. Is it true that limkqk1/k=?\lim_{k \to \infty} q_k^{1/k} = \infty?

Mathematical statement

Let q1<q2<q_1 < q_2 < \cdots be a sequence of primes such that qi+11(modqi)q_{i + 1} \equiv 1 \pmod{q_i}. Is it true that

limkqk1/k=?\lim_{k \to \infty} q_k^{1/k} = \infty?

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.
