On stronger conjectures that imply the Erdös-Moser conjecture

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