The simple-factor decomposition conjecture for Jacobians of Fermat-type curves
Let be a positive odd integer, and let denote the Jacobian associated with the curve . Write for Euler's totient function. The simple-factor decomposition conjecture. The decomposition of into simple factors contains exactly one simple factor of dimension for each divisor of . Moreover, if is a prime divisor of , the factor of dimension is the Jacobian of . The conjecture is motivated by computed Frobenius polynomials, and the source gives no general proof or resolution.
