Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture
Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture
Let be a fixed integer with and , and let be a prime. A number is a primitive root modulo when its residue class generates the multiplicative group modulo . Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture. There exists a prime such that is a primitive root modulo and
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.
