Authored summary

Exact residue search excludes every trinomial multiple with \(0<a<b\le2^{28}\); existence and the least pair in the remaining range \(2^{28}<b\le2^{31}\) remain open.

The record reports a computation within its stated scope.

Recorded status: supported

Recorded scope: every exponent pair 0 < a < b <= 268435456 for the stated degree-61 polynomial over F_2

2Authored explanation

Let \(\alpha\) be the residue class of \(x\) in \[ \mathbf F_2[x]/(x^{61}+x^{45}+x^{32}+x^2+1). \] For \(0<a<b\), divisibility by \(f\) is equivalent to \[ \alpha^b+\alpha^a+1=0, \] or \(\alpha^a=\alpha^b+1\).

The certificate stores every tagged residue \((\alpha^a,a)\) for \[ 1\leq a<2^{28}. \] It then tests \(\alpha^b+1\) in increasing order for every \(1\leq b\leq2^{28}\), scans the complete bucket containing that residue, and accepts only a matching tag with \(a<b\). It inspected 536,886,339 packed records and found no match. Thus \[ f(x)\nmid x^b+x^a+1 \] for every \(0<a<b\leq268435456\).

This proves one eighth of the requested degree interval. The 1,879,048,192 possible values of \(b\) satisfying \(2^{28}<b\leq2^{31}\) remain outside the certified search.
