Lehmer's conjecture on nonvanishing of the Ramanujan tau function

Let τ(n)\tau(n) be Ramanujan's tau function, the Fourier coefficients of the discriminant modular form Δ\Delta, and let pp range over primes. Lehmer's conjecture. If n1n\geq 1, then τ(n)0\tau(n)\neq 0; equivalently, if pp is prime, then τ(p)0\tau(p)\neq 0. This is the same classical nonvanishing conjecture for Ramanujan's tau function stated elsewhere in the paper. It remains open.
