On the distribution of consecutive square-free primitive roots modulo p

Huaning Liu, Hui Dong (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A positive integer n is called a square-free number if it is not divisible by a perfect square except 1 . Let p be an odd prime. For n with ( n , p ) = 1 , the smallest positive integer f such that n f 1 ( mod p ) is called the exponent of n modulo p . If the exponent of n modulo p is p - 1 , then n is called a primitive root mod p . Let A ( n ) be the characteristic function of the square-free primitive roots modulo p . In this paper we study the distribution n x A ( n ) A ( n + 1 ) , and give an asymptotic formula by using properties of character sums.

On the distribution of the Euler function of shifted smooth numbers

Stefanie S. Loiperdinger, Igor E. Shparlinski (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give asymptotic formulas for some average values of the Euler function on shifted smooth numbers. The result is based on various estimates on the distribution of smooth numbers in arithmetic progressions which are due to A. Granville and É. Fouvry & G. Tenenbaum.
