Wieferich numbers
A number  $n$  is a Wieferich number if it holds  $2^{\phi(n)}\equiv 1 \pmod {n^2}$.

The formula above, if  $n$  is a prime, is equivalent to  $2^{n-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {n^2}$, however only two such numbers, called Wieferich primes are known, namely 1093 and 3511.

The first Wieferich numbers are 1093, 3279, 3511, 7651, 10533, 14209, 17555, 22953, 31599, 42627, 45643, 52665, 68859 more terms

Currently 104 Wieferich numbers are known, the largest being 16547533489305. T. Agoh, K. Dilcher & L. Skula have proved that a larger Wieferich number can exist only if other Wieferich primes exist, apart the 1093 and 3511.

Similarly, two primes  $p$  and  $q$  such that  $p^{q-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {q^2}$  and  $q^{p-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {p^2}$, are called a Wieferich pair.

Only 7 such pairs are known : (2, 1093), (3, 1006003), (5, 1645333507), (5, 188748146801), (83, 4871), (911, 318917), and (2903, 18787).
