Fiorilli's generalized Skewes-number growth conjecture for quadratic residue races
Fiorilli's generalized Skewes-number growth conjecture for quadratic residue races
For an integer , let denote the number of square roots of modulo , let be its radical, and let be the generalized Skewes' number for the race between quadratic residues and nonresidues modulo . If is a sequence of integers such that
then Fiorilli's conjecture.
This predicts the growth of the first occurrence of the rare event in which quadratic residues collectively outperform nonresidues in a prime number race. The conjecture is attributed to Fiorilli; no resolution is given here.
