S000095

No other terms among known Fibonacci primes. These numbers are the solutions to sum_{d | n, d < n} d^2 = 3*n. Cai, Chen, and Zhang prove that all solutions to this equation are the product of two prime Fibonacci numbers Fib(2n-1) and Fib(2n+1). They prove that there are only a finite number of solutions.
