Abstract

Let $d \ge 3$ be an integer and let $P \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree d whose Galois group is $S_d$. Let $(a_n)$ be a non-degenerate linearly recursive sequence of integers which has P as its characteristic polynomial. We prove, under the generalised Riemann hypothesis, that the lower density of the set of primes which divide at least one non-zero element of the sequence $(a_n)$ is positive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
