Consecutive Quadratic Residues And Quadratic Nonresidue Modulo $p$


Abstract in English

Let $p$ be a large prime, and let $kll log p$. A new proof of the existence of any pattern of $k$ consecutive quadratic residues and quadratic nonresidues is introduced in this note. Further, an application to the least quadratic nonresidues $n_p$ modulo $p$ shows that $n_pll (log p)(log log p)$.
