Primitive divisors of elliptic divisibility sequences

arXiv:math/0409540 · doi:10.1016/j.jnt.2005.08.002

Abstract

Silverman proved the analogue of Zsigmondy's Theorem for elliptic divisibility sequences. For elliptic curves in global minimal form, it seems likely this result is true in a uniform manner. We present such a result for certain infinite families of curves and points. Our methods allow the first explicit examples of the elliptic Zsigmondy Theorem to be exhibited.
