This is the mirror of the proved theorem five_two_prime_cyclotomic_split, for the second cyclotomic block instead of the first.

In the k=5k=5k=5 Dris branch one writes N=m2qαN = m^2 q^\alphaN=m2qα with q≡1(mod4)q \equiv 1 \pmod 4q≡1(mod4) and α=5\alpha = 5α=5, so σ(p5)=(p+1)(p2+p+1)(p2−p+1)\sigma(p^5) = (p+1)(p^2+p+1)(p^2-p+1)σ(p5)=(p+1)(p2+p+1)(p2−p+1) factors into the two cyclotomic blocks C=p2+p+1C = p^2+p+1C=p2+p+1 and D=p2−p+1D = p^2-p+1D=p2−p+1 together with the factor p+1p+1p+1.

Suppose the square-free part of the Dris index sss has exactly two distinct prime factors q<rq < rq<r, so s=d12qrs = d_1^2 q rs=d12​qr for some d1d_1d1​, and suppose the first Dris equation 2m2=σ(p5)s2 m^2 = \sigma(p^5) s2m2=σ(p5)s holds. Then

m2=(p+1)2⋅(p2+p+1)⋅(p2−p+1)⋅d12⋅q⋅r.m^2 = \frac{(p+1)}{2} \cdot (p^2+p+1) \cdot (p^2-p+1) \cdot d_1^2 \cdot q \cdot r.m2=2(p+1)​⋅(p2+p+1)⋅(p2−p+1)⋅d12​⋅q⋅r.

Because m2m^2m2 is a square, every prime must occur to an even multiplicity in the right-hand side. The block CCC and the block DDD are coprime, and each is coprime to (p+1)/2(p+1)/2(p+1)/2 except for a single shared factor 333 between (p+1)/2(p+1)/2(p+1)/2 and DDD. That single overlap is the only place where the two supports can meet, and it can contribute at most one factor of 333.

Consequently the odd-multiplicity prime support of D=p2−p+1D = p^2-p+1D=p2−p+1 is a subset of {q,r}\{q, r\}{q,r}: any prime dividing DDD to an odd power must be cancelled by the single occurrence of qqq or rrr, since every other factor on the right is either a square or coprime to DDD. As DDD is not a square, that support is non-empty, so D=qx2D = q x^2D=qx2 or D=rx2D = r x^2D=rx2 for some xxx.

Consequence. This supplies the missing half of the 333-adic argument. The proved theorem five_cyclotomic_primes_one_mod_three forces both kernel primes to be 1(mod3)1 \pmod 31(mod3), so in particular neither is 333. For p≡1(mod3)p \equiv 1 \pmod 3p≡1(mod3) the block CCC carries exactly one factor of 333 (the proved child three_val_first_cyclotomic), while for p≡2(mod3)p \equiv 2 \pmod 3p≡2(mod3) it is the block DDD that does, with v3(D)=1v_3(D) = 1v3​(D)=1 (the child three_val_second_cyclotomic). Once this split is available the same Euclid argument that yields q=3∨r=3q = 3 \lor r = 3q=3∨r=3 from three_kernel_prime_when_p_one_mod_three applies to the second block as well, removing every p≡2(mod3)p \equiv 2 \pmod 3p≡2(mod3) with neither kernel prime equal to 333 from the residual five_no_two_prime_squarefree_index.
