theorem Erdos828.erdos_828 :
(∀ (a : ), {n : | n.totient n + a}.Infinite) sorry

Is it true that, for any $a \in \mathbb{Z}$, there are infinitely many $n$ such that $$\phi(n) | n + a$$?

When $n > 1$, Lehmer conjectured that $\phi(n) | n - 1$ if and only if $n$ is prime.

theorem Erdos828.erdos_828.variants.phi_dvd_self_iff_pow2_pow3 (n : ) :
n > 1 → (n.totient n ∃ (a : ) (b : ), n = 2 ^ a * 3 ^ b)

It is an easy exercise to show that, for $n > 1$, $\phi(n) | n$ if and only if $n = 2^a 3^b$.
