Sun's infinitude conjecture for the determinants [c,d]p[c,d]_p

About 6 years old · traced to

Let pp be an odd prime and let c,dc,d be integers. Define

[c,d]p:=det⁡[(i2+cij+dj2p)]0≤i,j≤p−1.[c,d]_p:=\det\left[\left(\frac{i^2+cij+dj^2}{p}\right)\right]_{0\le i,j\le p-1}.

Sun's conjecture. If dd is non-zero and c2−4d≠0c^2-4d\ne0, then [c,d]p=0[c,d]_p=0 for infinitely many primes pp.

The paper later states and proves a stronger result, so this conjecture is solved.
