TL;DR: In this paper, the degeneracy structure of the eigenangle spectrum is related to the distribution of cycle lengths, and the quantal Wigner function shows that eigenstates of U do not correspond to individual cycles.

TL;DR: It is reported that there exist no new Wieferich primes p < 4 x 10 12 , and no new Wilson prime p < 5x 10 8 .
Abstract: An odd prime p is called a Wieferich prime if 2 P-1 = 1 (mod p 2 ) alternatively, a Wilson prime if (p - 1)|= -1 (mod p 2 ). To date, the only known Wieferich primes are p = 1093 and 3511, while the only known Wilson primes are p = 5,13, and 563. We report that there exist no new Wieferich primes p < 4 x 10 12 , and no new Wilson primes p < 5x 10 8 . It is elementary that both defining congruences above hold merely (mod p), and it is sometimes estimated on heuristic grounds that the probability that p is Wieferich (independently: that p is Wilson) is about 1/p. We provide some statistical data relevant to occurrences of small values of the pertinent Fermat and Wilson quotients (mod p).

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the affirmative answer to Wall's question implies the first case of FLT (Fermat's last theorem) for exponents which are (odd) Fibonacci primes or Lucas primes.
Abstract: numbers. As applications we obtain a new formula for the Fibonacci quotient Fp−( 5 p )/p and a criterion for the relation p |F(p−1)/4 (if p ≡ 1 (mod 4)), where p 6= 5 is an odd prime. We also prove that the affirmative answer to Wall’s question implies the first case of FLT (Fermat’s last theorem); from this it follows that the first case of FLT holds for those exponents which are (odd) Fibonacci primes or Lucas primes.
