Jul 4, 2014 at 16:57 comment added i. m. soloveichik @Geoff Of course there are the orders which are Mersenne primes. So if you can prove finiteness of the number of solutions for my question then you get finiteness of Mersenne primes.
Jul 4, 2014 at 16:17 comment added Geoff Robinson Very few I imagine. But if $N+1$ is a proper power, then the number it is a power of would seem to have nothing much to do with the simple group itself, so what might you learn from a positive answer to the question?
