Griffin's dream for primitive roots in polynomial prime values
Let be a polynomial representing infinitely many distinct primes, let , and let denote the number of primes represented by for which is a primitive root, as defined in the paper. Griffin's dream conjecture. (1) For quadratic , Griffin's dream cannot be realized, that is, . (2) For every integer and every , there exists a polynomial such that . The two assertions contrast an obstruction to having the primitive-root property for all prime values of a quadratic polynomial with the existence of arbitrarily long finite examples; the paper gives them as concluding conjectural claims, with no resolution supplied.
