The p-adic convergence conjecture for elliptic divisibility sequences

From papers

Let W=(Wn)n0{\mathcal W}=(W_n)_{n\ge0} be an elliptic divisibility sequence and let pp be a prime. For an exponent N=Np1N=N_p\ge1, consider the subsequences indexed by mpkNmp^{kN} for each m1m\ge1. The p-adic convergence conjecture. There is an exponent N=Np1N=N_p\ge1 such that for every m1m\ge1, the limit

limkWmpkN\lim_{k\to\infty} W_{mp^{kN}}

converges in Zp\mathbb{Z}_p to a number algebraic over Q\mathbb{Q}. The paper proves the assertion for almost all primes in the non-CM case, and for all but finitely many primes splitting in the CM field in the CM case; the conjecture proposes it for every elliptic divisibility sequence and every prime.
