Abstract

Let χ\chi be a Dirichlet character modulo a prime~pp. We give explicit upper bounds on q1<q2<<qnq_1<q_2<\dots<q_n, the nn smallest prime nonresidues of χ\chi. More precisely, given n0n_0 and p0p_0 there exists an absolute constant C=C(n0,p0)>0C=C(n_0,p_0)>0 such that qnCp14(logp)n+12q_n\leq Cp^{\frac{1}{4}}(\log p)^{\frac{n+1}{2}} whenever nn0n\leq n_0 and pp0p\geq p_0.
