The order-sensitive bound conjecture for Dedekind sums modulo primes

Let pp be prime. Let d>1d>1 be odd with dp1d\mid p-1, and let hh be an element of order dd in (Z/pZ)({\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z})^*.

Order-sensitive Dedekind-sum conjecture. There exists an absolute constant C>0C>0 such that

s(h,p)Cp11ϕ(d).\left|s(h,p)\right|\leq C p^{1-\frac{1}{\phi(d)}}.

This is proposed as a stronger version of the paper's individual Dedekind-sum bound, based on numerical computations. The preceding explicit calculation supports the exponent in special families, but the general assertion remains open in the supplied text.
