Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Let qq be a fixed integer with q≠1q\ne 1 and q≠n2q\ne n^2, and let pp be a prime. A number qq is a primitive root modulo pp when its residue class generates the multiplicative group modulo pp. Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture. There exists a prime pp such that qq is a primitive root modulo pp and

p≪(log⁡q)(log⁡log⁡q)3.p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)^3.

This gives a conjectural logarithmic upper bound for the least prime admitting a prescribed nonsquare integer as a primitive root; the source notes that its result provides only a close approximation to this bound.
