    Haha, ok, how about numbers n such that there are nontrivial solutions to a^n + b^n = c^n

    My point is that interesting (non-)existence results give examples of the type I thought you were asking for.

      Oh yeah, Fermat’s Last Theorem. I bet I would have thought of that right away if I was a bit older. The Wiefrich primes came up elsewhere here, and they have a kind of similar background.

      Thanks for the answers!
