Abstract

Let D=(Dn)n1\mathbf{D}=(D_{n})_{n\geq 1} be an elliptic divisibility sequence associated to the pair (E,P)(E,P). For a fixed integer kk, we define AE,k={n1:gcd(n,Dn)=k}\mathscr{A}_{E,k}=\{n\geq 1 : \gcd(n,D_{n})=k\}. We give an explicit structural description of AE,k\mathscr{A}_{E,k}. Also, we explain when AE,k\mathscr{A}_{E,k} has positive asymptotic density using bounds related to the distribution of trace of Frobenius of EE. Furthermore, we get explicit density of AE,k\mathscr{A}_{E,k} using the M\"obius function.
