Abstract

In this paper we examine Grosswald's conjecture on g(p)g(p), the least primitive root modulo pp. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), and building on previous work by Cohen, Oliveira e Silva and Trudgian, we resolve Grosswald's conjecture by showing that g(p)<p2g(p)< \sqrt{p} - 2 for all p>409p>409. Our method also shows that under GRH we have g^(p)<p2\hat{g}(p)< \sqrt{p}-2 for all p>2791p>2791, where g^(p)\hat{g}(p) is the least prime primitive root modulo pp.
