The gcd conjecture for cyclotomic factors of a divisibility sequence
The gcd conjecture for cyclotomic factors of a divisibility sequence
Let be the divisibility sequence with factorization , and let denote the least positive index such that . For indices , write for their greatest common divisor.
Gcd conjecture. If , then
\nfor some prime and some exponent .
This conjecture describes when two distinct factors in the divisor factorization of a divisibility sequence can share a prime divisor. The supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
