Prime-divisor conjecture for the double-discriminant constant
Let denote the outlying constant, equivalently the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of , and let be the -adic valuation. The conjecture concerns its prime divisors and valuations.
Double-discriminant constant conjecture. The following hold:
- For , has the same prime divisors as , while
- , with equality when .
- For all , , and , is a multiple of .
These patterns are inferred from computations and compressed-polynomial experiments; for , the tabulated constants are explicitly described as uncertain upper bounds. Thus the proposed complete description remains open.
