Positive lower density for prime divisors of generic linear recurrences

Number Theory 2021-02-09 v1

Abstract

Let d3d \ge 3 be an integer and let PZ[x]P \in \mathbb{Z}[x] be a polynomial of degree dd whose Galois group is SdS_d. Let (an)(a_n) be a linearly recuresive sequence of integers which has PP as its characteristic polynomial. We prove, under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, that the lower density of the set of primes which divide at least one element of the sequence (an)(a_n) is positive.
