Abstract

If a>ba>b and n>1n>1 are positive integers and aa and bb are relatively prime integers, then a large Zsigmondy prime for (a,b,n)(a,b,n) is a prime pp such that panbnp \,|\, a^n-b^n but pambmp \,\nmid \, a^m-b^m for 1m<n1 \leq m < n and either p2anbnp^2 \, | \, a^n - b^n or p>n+1 p > n + 1. We classify all the triples of integers (a,b,n)(a, b, n) for which no large Zsigmondy prime exists.
