Let D∈Z be an integer that is neither a square nor a cube in Q(−3), and let ED be the elliptic curve defined by y2=x3+D. Mazur conjectured that the number of anomalous primes less than N should be given asymptotically by cN/logN ( c is a positive constant), and in particular there should be infinitely many anomalous primes for ED . We show that the Hardy–Littlewood conjecture implies the Mazur conjecture, except for D=80d6 , where 0≠d∈Z[(1+−3)/2] with d6∈Z. Conversely, if the Mazur conjecture holds for some D , then the polynomial 12x2+18x+7 represents infinitely many primes. All anomalous primes belong to the quadratic progression q(h)=14(1+3h2) . Assuming the Hardy–Littlewood conjecture, we obtain the density of the anomalous primes in the primes in q(h) for any D . The density is 16 in some cases, as Mazur had conjectured, but it fails to be true for all D . Our results are more general. In fact, we will consider all primes of six types which belong to q(h) , not just anomalous primes. The density results are established for all these primes. We also discuss the Lang–Trotter conjecture for ED .
