%N Prime numbers that cannot be Mersenne prime exponents, by conjecture of A144325.

%C Obviously true for the initial terms!

%C Conjecture: 191, 1217, 1559 and 1901 are not in fact members of this sequence, noting that they are (4, 19) k-figurate numbers; 19 is a member of A138694. Determining whether a Mersenne prime exponent one greater than a (4, 19) k-figurate number exists is sufficient to determine whether these primes are members.

%Y Cf. A000040, A000043, A000668, A144313, A144315, A144325, A138694
