Erdős Problem #1141 has status 'disproved (lean)'. Statement: Are there infinitely many $n$ such that $n-k^2$ is prime for all $k$ with $(n,k)=1$ and $k^2 < n$? In [Va99] it is asked whether $968$ is the largest integer with this property, but this is an error, since for example $968-9=7\cdot 137$. The list of $n$ satisfying the given property is [A214583] in the OEIS. The largest known such $n$ is $1722$. The answer is negative: [APSSV26b] proves a stronger finiteness theorem, deducing it from Pollack [Po17]. Oriike [Or26] formalised the deduction in Lean. Topics: number theory, primes. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: A214583.
