Let f ( x , y ) be a binary cubic form with integral rational coefficients, and suppose that the polynomial f ( x , y ) is irreducible in Q [ x , y ] and no prime divides all the coefficients of f . We prove that the set f Z (2) contains infinitely many primes unless f ( a , b ) is even for each ( a , b ) in Z 2 , in which case the set 1 2 f ( Z 2 ) contains infinitely many primes. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification : primary 11N32; secondary 11N36, 11R44.
