Geometric divisibility sequence constancy conjecture for higher-dimensional semiabelian groups
Let be a group scheme, let be a -valued point, and assume that
- the generic fiber is an irreducible commutative algebraic group of dimension at least with no unipotent part;
- if is the restriction of to the generic fiber, then the subgroup generated by is Zariski dense in .
Geometric divisibility sequence conjecture. The geometric divisibility sequence corresponding to satisfies
for infinitely many integers . This extends the type of recurrence predicted by the Ailon–Rudnick conjecture to higher-dimensional commutative algebraic groups without unipotent parts; the assertion is presented as a conjecture and no resolution is given in the source.
