Explicit Prime Densities for the Rank of Appearance in Lucas Sequences

Number Theory 2026-05-22 v2

Abstract

Let UU be a Lucas sequence, pp be prime, and ρU(p)\rho_U(p) be the rank of appearance of pp in UU. We derive closed-form formulas for the Dirichlet density of primes pp for which dρU(p)d\mid \rho_U(p), where d1d\geq 1 is a fixed integer. Our results complete the work of Sanna (20222022) by covering all UU and all d1d\geq 1.
