Abstract
Let be a sequence of integers. A primitive prime divisor of a term is a prime which divides but does not divide any of the previous terms of the sequence. A zero orbit of a polynomial is a sequence of integers where the -th term is the -th iterate of at 0. We consider primitive prime divisors of zero orbits of polynomials. In this note, we show that for integers and , where and , every iterate in the zero orbit of contains a primitive prime whenever zero has an infinite orbit. If , then every iterate after the first contains a primitive prime.
