Akbary–Park conjecture on fixed traces for a pair of elliptic curves

About 9 years old · traced to

Let E1E_1 and E2E_2 be non-isogenous elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q}, with conductors N1N_1 and N2N_2, respectively, and both without complex multiplication. For fixed integers t1t_1 and t2t_2, define

S(E1,E2,t1,t2;x)=#{p≤x:p∤N1N2, ap(E1)=t1 and⁡ ap(E2)=t2}.S(E_1,E_2,t_1,t_2;x)=\#\{p\leq x:p\nmid N_1N_2,\ a_p(E_1)=t_1\ \operatorname{and}\ a_p(E_2)=t_2\}.

Akbary–Park fixed-traces conjecture. There exists a constant C(E1,E2,t1,t2)≥0C(E_1,E_2,t_1,t_2)\geq0 such that

S(E1,E2,t1,t2;x)∼C(E1,E2,t1,t2)log⁡log⁡xS(E_1,E_2,t_1,t_2;x)\sim C(E_1,E_2,t_1,t_2)\operatorname{log}\operatorname{log}x

as x→∞x\to\infty. This is a more general conjecture about simultaneous prescribed Frobenius traces for two non-isogenous curves; setting t1=t2=0t_1=t_2=0 recovers a precise form of the supersingular-pair conjecture. The source attributes it to Akbary and Park and focuses on the conjectural constant.
