Counting monic irreducible polynomials P in 𝔽 q [ X ] for which order of X ( mod P ) is odd

Christian Ballot (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Hasse showed the existence and computed the Dirichlet density of the set of primes p for which the order of 2 ( mod p ) is odd; it is 7 / 24 . Here we mimic successfully Hasse’s method to compute the density δ q of monic irreducibles P in 𝔽 q [ X ] for which the order of X ( mod P ) is odd. But on the way, we are also led to a new and elementary proof of these densities. More observations are made, and averages are considered, in particular, an average of the δ p ’s as p varies through all rational primes.
