Abstract: For any integer $ r$ we show that the notion of $ \omega$-prime to base $ a$ introduced by Berrizbeitia and Berry, 2000, leads to a primality test for numbers $ n$ congruent to $ 1$ modulo $ r$, which runs in polynomial time assuming the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). For $ r = 2$ we obtain Miller's classical result.
