Abstract

Let p be a prime number. It is known that the order o(r) of a root r of the irreducible polynomial xp - x - 1 over Fp divides g(p) = pp-1/p-1 Samuel Wagstaff recently conjectured that o(r) = g(p) for any prime p. The main object of the paper is to give some subsets S of {1,...,g(p)} that do not contain o(r).
