Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every odd prime p, the least positive quadratic nonresidue is at most C(log p)^A for absolute constants A and C.

Why it matters

If the manuscript’s zero-free theorem is correct, this corollary resolves Vinogradov’s least quadratic nonresidue conjecture.

What counts as progress

Is the least quadratic nonresidue modulo every odd prime p bounded by p^δ for each fixed δ>0?
