On generalized elite primes
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 11 (2008) no. 3
A prime number $p$ is called $b$-elite if only finitely many generalized Fermat numbers $F_{b,n} = b^{2^{n}}+1$ are quadratic residues to $p$. So far, only the case $b = 2$ was subjected to theoretical and experimental researches by several authors. Most of the results obtained for this special case can be generalized for all bases $b > 2$. Moreover, the generalization allows an insight to more general structures in which standard elite primes are embedded. We present selected computational results from which some conjectures are derived.
