[#R1084] Current status and unresolved remainder

claim. The cited AMS article identifies the infinitude of Mersenne primes as unresolved, and current public status was checked on 2026-07-31. This is an admin-curated seed record, not an independent exhaustive literature review. Prove that infinitely many prime exponents p give 2^p - 1 prime, or prove that only finitely many do.

1Summary

The cited AMS article identifies the infinitude of Mersenne primes as unresolved, and current public status was checked on 2026-07-31. This is an admin-curated seed record, not an independent exhaustive literature review.

A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Prove that infinitely many prime exponents p give 2^p - 1 prime, or prove that only finitely many do.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
