%N Numbers that are not nilpotent numbers.

%C A number is nilpotent if every group of order n is nilpotent.

%C The sequence "Numbers of the form (k*i + 1)*k*j with i, j >= 1 and k >= 2" agrees with this for the first 146 terms but then differs. Cf. A300737. - _Gionata Neri_, Mar 11 2018

%F n is in this sequence if p^k = 1 mod q for primes p and q dividing n such that p^k divides n. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 27 2012

%e From _Bernard Schott_, Dec 19 2021: (Start)

%e There are 2 groups with order 6: C_6 that is cyclic so nilpotent, and the symmetric group S_3 that is not nilpotent, hence 6 is a term.

%e There are also 2 groups with order 10: C_10 that is cyclic so nilpotent, and the dihedral group D_10 that is not nilpotent, hence 10 is another term. (End)

%o (Haskell)

%o a056868 n = a056868_list !! (n-1)

%o a056868_list = filter (any (== 1) . pks) [1..] where

%o pks x = [p ^ k `mod` q | let fs = a027748_row x, q <- fs,

%o (p,e) <- zip fs $ a124010_row x, k <- [1..e]]

%o -- _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jun 28 2013

%Y Complement of A056867.

%Y Subsequence of A060652; A068919 is a subsequence.
