Conjecture on six consecutive primitive elements in finite fields
Conjecture on six consecutive primitive elements in finite fields
Let be a prime power and let denote the finite field with elements. Consecutive primitive elements are consecutive field elements that are all generators of . Six-consecutive-elements conjecture. The finite field has consecutive primitive elements when is not divisible by , by , or by , and when .
This and the related claims for seven and eight consecutive primitive elements are reported from computational examination rather than established proofs; the source does not provide a resolution.
