The one-prime coincidence conjecture for vanishing elliptic-curve constants
Let be a non-CM elliptic curve over , let be a positive integer, and let denote the constant considered in the paper. A -coincidence is an equality of division fields
for a prime . The one-prime coincidence conjecture. If , then there exists a prime such that
The preceding corollary proves the converse implication: any such coincidence forces . Thus the conjecture predicts that, for non-CM elliptic curves, all vanishing cases arise from a one-prime coincidence; the statement is based on numerical evidence.
