Abstract

For a fixed rational number g∉{−1,0,1} and integers a and d we consider the sets Ng(a,d), respectively Rg(a,d), of primes p for which the order, respectively the index of is congruent to . Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), it is known that these sets have a natural density δg(a,d), respectively ρg(a,d). It is shown that these densities can be expressed as linear combinations of certain constants introduced by Pappalardi. Furthermore it is proved that δg(a,d) and ρg(a,d) equal their g-averages for almost all g.
