Folklore conjecture on nonvanishing of quadratic twists
Folklore conjecture on nonvanishing of quadratic twists
Let be any elliptic curve over , let be a positive integer, and let denote the quadratic twist of by . A square-free integer has exactly prime factors when it is the product of exactly distinct primes. Folklore nonvanishing conjecture. For any elliptic curve over and any positive integer , there are infinitely many square-free integers having exactly prime factors such that
This is a nonvanishing prediction for quadratic twists with prescribed numbers of prime factors; the source calls it folklore and does not state that it has been proved or disproved.
