Abstract:

Carmichael’s conjecture states that if $\phi (x) = n$, then $\phi (y) = n$ for some $y \ne x$ ($\phi$ is Euler’s totient function). We show that the conjecture is valid for all x under ${10^{10,900,000}}$. The main new idea is the application of a prime-certification technique that allows us to very quickly certify the primality of the thousands of large numbers that must divide a counterexample.
