Generalized Lang–Trotter conjecture for coinciding Frobenius fields

About 12 years old · traced to

Let E1E_1 and E2E_2 be elliptic curves over the rationals without complex multiplication. For x>0x>0, define

S(x,E1,E2):=#{p≤x∣F(E1,p)=F(E2,p)},S(x,E_1,E_2):=\#\{p\leq x\mid F(E_1,p)=F(E_2,p)\},

where F(Ei,p)F(E_i,p) denotes the Frobenius field of EiE_i at the prime pp.

Generalized Lang–Trotter conjecture. The elliptic curves E1E_1 and E2E_2 satisfy

E1 is not isogenous to E2E_1\text{ is not isogenous to }E_2

if and only if

S(x,E1,E2)=O(xlog⁡x).S(x,E_1,E_2)=O\left(\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\log x}\right).

This conjecture asks how often two non-CM elliptic curves have the same Frobenius field. It is presented as a generalized version of a question suggested by Lang and Trotter; the statement is not asserted as proved in the source and remains open.
