Primality conjecture for elliptic Fermat numbers

Let EE be a fixed elliptic curve over Q\mathbb{Q}, let PE(Q)P\in E(\mathbb{Q}) be a rational point, and let F=(Fn)nNF=(F_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be the associated sequence of elliptic Fermat numbers. Primality conjecture for elliptic Fermat numbers. The sequence FF contains only finitely many prime terms. This conjecture is stated for elliptic Fermat numbers associated with a fixed curve and rational point; the surrounding section indicates that the result is proved for magnified elliptic Fermat numbers, while the stated general claim is not resolved in the supplied text.
