Abstract

AbstractA conjecture of Brown and Zassenhaus (see [2]) states that the first log/? primes generate a primitive root (mod p) for almost all primes p. As a consequence of a Theorem of Burgess and Elliott (see [3]) it is easy to see that the first log2p log log4+∊p primes generate a primitive root (mod p) for almost all primes p. We improve this showing that the first log2p/ log log p primes generate a primitive root (mod p) for almost all primes p.
