On members of Lucas sequences with bounded prime gaps

In this paper, we look at terms of Lucas sequences whose prime factors have indices with bounded gaps in the sequence of all prime numbers. Some of our results depend on certain widely believed conjectures. In our proofs we combine various tools, including Baker's method, the subspace theorem, and results of Stewart, and Murty and Wong.

Abstract

In this paper, we look at terms of Lucas sequences whose prime factors have indices with bounded gaps in the sequence of all prime numbers. Some of our results depend on certain widely believed conjectures. In our proofs we combine various tools, including Baker's method, the subspace theorem, and results of Stewart, and Murty and Wong.
