Density and rank-stability conjectures for generalized non-Wieferich primes

About 1 year old · traced to

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve and let P∈E0(Q)P\in E^0(\mathbb{Q}) be a non-torsion point. Define the sets of good primes

ΛE,P={p:qp(aNp)≠0}={p:aNpp−1≢1(modp2)},\Lambda_{E,P}=\{p:q_p(a_{N_p})\neq0\}=\{p:a_{N_p}^{p-1}\not\equiv1\pmod {p^2}\},

and WE,PW_{E,P} as the set of primes for which NpP≢0(modp2)N_pP\not\equiv0\pmod {p^2}, where NpN_p is the number of points of the reduction of EE modulo pp. The generalized non-Wieferich and rank-stability conjectures. The set ΛE,P\Lambda_{E,P} has density 11 and an infinite complement; the set WE,PW_{E,P} has density 11 and an infinite complement; and, for every elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q} of rank 11, only finitely many supersingular primes pp cause the rank to change in the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension. These claims would explain the observed rarity of simultaneous exceptional signed Iwasawa behavior and rank growth in the supersingular cyclotomic tower. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
