Description
A very deep problem with the Mersenne and Fibonacci sequences asks if there are infinitely many prime terms. Bang and Carmichael have studied the simpler problem which asks when the terms have primitive divisors. In my seminar I study the analogous questions for elliptic divisibility sequences.

One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
