The uniform primality conjecture for elliptic divisibility sequences

From papers

Let B=(Bn)B=(B_n) be an elliptic divisibility sequence generated by a rational point on an elliptic curve in minimal form. A prime term is a term Bn/B1B_n/B_1 that is prime. The uniform primality conjecture. The number of prime terms Bn/B1B_n/B_1 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.
