Abstract

Suppose that d{2,3,4,6}d \in \{ 2, 3, 4, 6 \} and aZa \in \mathbb{Z} with a1a\neq -1 and aa is not square. Let P(a,d)P_{(a,d)} be the number of primes pp not exceeding xx such that p1(modd)p \equiv 1 \pmod{d} and a(p1)/d1(modp)a^{(p-1)/d} \equiv 1 \pmod{p}. In this paper, we study the mean value of P(a,d)P_{(a,d)}.
