Rational-Weierstrass genus-2 Jacobian prime-order conjecture
For a prime , let be the probability that a uniformly randomly chosen integer in the Hasse–Weil interval is prime, and let be the probability that a genus- curve with a rational Weierstrass point, obtained by choosing uniformly from the monic square-free degree- polynomials over , has a Jacobian with a prime number of rational points. Let be the constant in the genus- Jacobian prime-order conjecture. Rational-Weierstrass prime-order conjecture. Then
The factor reflects the increased probability of rational -torsion, making prime orders substantially less likely; the claim is heuristic and remains unproved.
