Surjectivity conjecture for the minimal isogeny degree on primes

Let P\mathbb{P} be the set of prime numbers, and let δ ⁣:PZ>0\delta\colon\mathbb{P}\to\mathbb{Z}_{>0} assign to each prime pp the value δ(p)\delta(p). Prime-value surjectivity conjecture. For every nZ>0n\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}, there exists a prime pPp\in\mathbb{P} with δ(p)=n\delta(p)=n, equivalently,

Im(δ)=Z>0.\operatorname{Im}(\delta)=\mathbb{Z}_{>0}.

Thus every positive integer should occur as the value of δ(p)\delta(p) for some prime. The paper verifies this numerically for all n50n\leq50, but the assertion for all positive integers remains open.
