Least Prime Primitive Roots

Abstract

This note presents an upper bound for the least prime primitive roots g(p)g^*(p) modulo pp, a large prime. The current literature has several estimates of the least prime primitive root g(p)g^*(p) modulo a prime p2p\geq 2 such as g(p)pc,c>2.8g^*(p)\ll p^c, c>2.8. The estimate provided within seems to sharpen this estimate to the smaller estimate g(p)p5/loglogpg^*(p)\ll p^{5/\log \log p} uniformly for all large primes p2p\geq 2.
