This has not been proven.
Instead, both:
- Mar. 1977: Allan W. Johnson: Problems (Mathematics Magazine Vol. 50, no. 2: pp. 99 – 104) www.jstor.org/stable/2689738
- Jul. 1995: Dmitry Mavlo: Absolute Prime Numbers (The Mathematical Gazette Vol. 79, no. 485: pp. 299 – 304) www.jstor.org/stable/3618302
show that these numbers are either repunits or of the form $aa \dots aaab$ with absurdly large number of digits and many restrictions.
On the existence of absolute primes only proved there are no permutable primes where all the digits $1, 3, 7, 9$ appear. --RandomUndergrad (talk) 05:43, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm not sure what I was thinking of when I wrote this page. Nowhere in Wells does it make that statement. I will rewrite this page to say what the above citation actually says. --prime mover (talk) 06:25, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- That should cover it. Well researched.
- It remains to post up the proofs given in these papers. --prime mover (talk) 07:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
