Artin's conjecture for polynomials over finite fields
Following earlier papers by R. Gupta, M. R. Murty and V. K. Murty, \textit{D. R. Heath-Brown} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. (2) 37, 27-38 (1986; Zbl 0586.10025)] showed that at least one of any set of three primes is a primitive root modulo infinitely many primes \(p\). In this paper a proof, accessible to undergraduates, is supplied for the case where the three primes are 2, 3 and 5. The proof does, however, appeal to a refined version of the analogue about almost-primes of the form \(p-1\) of a theorem of J.-R. Chen. \textit{H. Bilharz} [Math. Ann. 114, 476-492 (1937; Zbl 0016.34301)] showed that the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis for function fields implies (an analogue for polynomials mod \(p\) of Artin's conjecture) that if \(a(x)\) is a non-constant polynomial, not a square mod \(p\), then there are infinitely many irreducible polynomials \(p(x)\) such that \(a(x)\) generates the residue classes of \((\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(p(x)))\). The authors give a proof for the case \(a(x)=x^m+c\) that uses nothing more sophisticated than Gauss sums. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0935.00033].
