Artin's conjecture for the prime base 2

About 12 years old · traced to

For a prime pp, let Zp×\mathbb{Z}_p^\times denote the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of Zp\mathbb{Z}_p.

Artin's conjecture. There are infinitely many primes pp such that 22 is a generator of the multiplicative group Zp×\mathbb{Z}_p^\times.

This is the classical Artin primitive-root conjecture, cited by the source as an approach to finding primes pp with aw⁡(Zp,3)=3\operatorname{aw}(\mathbb{Z}_p,3)=3. The existence of an infinite family of such primes remains open.
