## Question

[infinitely-many-mersenne-primes] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Infinitely many Mersenne primes. Statement: Are there infinitely many Mersenne primes, i.e. primes of the form 2^p - 1 with p prime? If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
