Abstract

We show under the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis that for every δ>0\delta>0, almost every prime qq in [Q,2Q][Q,2Q] has the expected of prime primitive roots in the interval [x,x+x12+δ][x,x+x^{\frac{1}2+\delta}] provided QQ is not more than x23ϵx^{\frac{2}{3}-\epsilon}. We obtain this via a variant of the classical truncated Perron's formula for the partial sums of the coefficients of a Dirichlet series.
