We give a deterministic algorithm that very quickly proves the primality or compositeness of the integers N in a certain sequence, using an elliptic curve E/Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of Q(sqrt(-7)). The algorithm uses O(log N) arithmetic operations in the ring Z/NZ, implying a bit complexity that is quasi-quadratic in log N. Notably, neither of the classical "N-1" or "N+1" primality tests apply to the integers in our sequence. We discuss how this algorithm may be… Expand

A Novel Method of Searching Primitive Roots Modulo Fermat Prime Numbers

Motivated by Euler's observation that the polynomial $x^{2} + x + 41$ takes on prime values for $0 \leq x \leq 39$, we search for large values of $x$ for which $N = x^{2} + x + 41$ is prime. To applyExpand
