Title: Generalizing the Eight Levels Theorem: A Journey to Mersenne Prime Discoveries and New Polynomial Classes

Abstract: Mersenne primes, renowned for their captivating form as $2^p - 1$, have intrigued mathematicians for centuries. In this paper, we embark on a captivating quest to unveil the intricate nature of Mersenne primes, seamlessly integrating methods with the Eight Levels Theorem. Initially, we extend the Eight Levels Theorem and introduce an innovative approach that harmoniously combines arithmetic and differential techniques to compute the coefficients of the polynomial expansions of $x^n + y^n$ in terms of binary quadratic forms. This endeavor leads us to the genesis of novel polynomial sequences as we scrutinize the coefficients within this expansion. Our research unearths previously uncharted connections between Mersenne numbers and the derivatives of specific polynomial sequences. By forging this linkage, we not only enhance our understanding of Mersenne primes but also bridge the divide between well-established sequences in number theory and differential equations. This broadens the applicability of our findings across diverse scientific domains, revealing fresh avenues for exploration in number theory and beyond. These polynomial bridges serve as conduits between these sequences, unveiling exciting prospects for future research. This interdisciplinary exploration opens up exciting possibilities for the broader implications of Mersenne primes, extending their significance beyond the realm of pure mathematics. In our paper, we also delve into the intriguing influence of the Golden Ratio constant, which unveils segments reminiscent of the beauty found in nature, adding an unexpected dimension to the world of arithmetic. In this harmonious journey, the allure of Mersenne primes resonates through the symphony of mathematical discovery.
