COMMENTS
s = 0 is "trivial" case of Mersenne primes: 3, 7, 31, 127, 8191, 131071, 524287, 2147483647, ...
Mersenne prime exponents r: 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, ...
Necessarily r odd as for r = 2*k and p a prime of form 6*n+1: 2^(2*k) * p^j - 1 a multiple of 3.
Proof by induction with 2^2 * p^1 - 1 = 4*(6*n+1) - 1 = 3*(8*n+1), 2^2(k+1) * p^j - 1 = 4* (2^k * p^j - 1) + 3.
No prime in case i = j = k (k>1) as a^k - 1 has divisor a - 1.
