Generalized Artin density conjecture for polynomial prime values

About 13 years old · traced to

Let f(x)∈Z[x]f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x] produce infinitely many primes. For an integer gg, define

δg(f,x):=#{0≤n≤x; f(n)=p is an Artin prime for g}#{0≤n≤x; f(n) is prime}.\delta_g(f,x):=\frac{\#\{0\leq n\leq x;~f(n)=p~\text{is an Artin prime for}~g\}}{\#\{0\leq n\leq x;~f(n)~\text{is prime}\}}.

Here an Artin prime for gg is a prime for which gg is a primitive root modulo that prime. Generalized Artin conjecture. The limit

δg(f)=lim⁡x→∞δg(f,x)\delta_g(f)=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\delta_g(f,x)

exists. This is proposed as a generalization of the classical Artin conjecture; the paper notes that a conjectural explicit value for the density is difficult in general.
