Existence of a limiting density for primitive roots among polynomial primes
Existence of a limiting density for primitive roots among polynomial primes
Let represent infinitely many primes, and let , where is the set of integers under consideration as possible primitive roots. Define
Primitive-root density conjecture. The quotient tends to a limit as tends to infinity; denote this conjectural density by . This predicts that the relative proportion of polynomial prime values for which is a primitive root exists. The paper presents it as numerical evidence and a heuristic expectation; no proof or resolution is supplied.
