Abstract:For a rational elliptic curve in Weierstrass form, Chudnovsky and Chudnovsky considered the likelihood that the denominators of the $x$-coordinates of the multiples of a rational point are squares of primes. Assuming the point is the image of a rational point under an isogeny, we use Siegel's Theorem to prove that only finitely many primes will arise. The same question is considered for elliptic curves in homogeneous form, prompting a visit to Ramanujan's famous taxi-cab equation. Finiteness is provable for these curves with no extra assumptions. Finally, consideration is given to the possibilities for prime generation in higher rank.
