Pairwise coprimality conjecture for prime-indexed Lucas sequence terms
Pairwise coprimality conjecture for prime-indexed Lucas sequence terms
Let be the Lucas sequence associated to integers and with and , so that , , and
Pairwise coprimality conjecture. For any two different primes and , the terms and are relatively prime:
The preceding theorem proves that is composite for every , while this conjecture asserts that prime-indexed terms nevertheless do not share any common prime divisor. If true, it would imply that no finite set of primes divides every term of the sequence.
