The uniform primality conjecture for elliptic divisibility sequences
The uniform primality conjecture for elliptic divisibility sequences
Let be an elliptic divisibility sequence generated by a rational point on an elliptic curve in minimal form. A prime term is a term that is prime. The uniform primality conjecture. The number of prime terms is uniformly bounded, independently of the curve and the point. This conjecture concerns whether elliptic divisibility sequences can contain infinitely many prime terms; the paper notes computational evidence for a gap principle and proves the conjecture conditionally in important cases, but the general assertion remains open.
