The coprimality conjecture for reductions of two elliptic curves

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let E1E_1 and E2E_2 be non-CM elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q}. For x≥1x\geq 1, define

πE1,E2coprime(x)=#{p≤x:p∤NE1NE2 and gcd⁡(#E1(Fp),#E2(Fp))=1},\pi_{E_1,E_2}^{\mathrm{coprime}}(x)=\#\{p\leq x:p\nmid N_{E_1}N_{E_2}\text{ and }\gcd(\#E_1(\mathbb{F}_p),\#E_2(\mathbb{F}_p))=1\},

where NEiN_{E_i} denotes the conductor of EiE_i for i=1,2i=1,2. Coprimality conjecture. As x→∞x\to\infty,

πE1,E2coprime(x)∼CE1,E2coprime⋅xlog⁡x,\pi_{E_1,E_2}^{\mathrm{coprime}}(x)\sim C_{E_1,E_2}^{\mathrm{coprime}}\cdot\frac{x}{\log x},

where CE1,E2coprime≥0C_{E_1,E_2}^{\mathrm{coprime}}\geq 0 is an explicit constant defined by the inclusion-exclusion model attached to the adelic Galois image of E1×E2E_1\times E_2. This conjecture predicts the asymptotic density of primes at which the two reduction groups have coprime orders, extending the study of prime-factor conditions on elliptic-curve reductions; the explicit constant is intended to account for entanglements among the division fields of the two curves.
