On upper bounds for the count of elite primes

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

We look at upper bounds for the count of certain primes related to the Fermat numbers Fn=22n+1F_n=2^{2^n}+1 called elite primes. We first note an oversight in a result of Krizek, Luca and Somer and give the corrected, slightly weaker upper bound. We then assume the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L functions and obtain a stronger conditional upper bound.
