Abstract:
An odd prime number p is called anti-elite if only finitely many
Fermat numbers are quadratic non-residues to p. This
concept is the exact opposite to that of elite prime numbers. We study
some fundamental properties of anti-elites and show that there are
infinitely many of them. A computational search among all the numbers
up to 100 billion yielded 84 anti-elite primes.
