Sequences in power residue classes

Using A. Well's estimates the authors have given bounds for the largest prime P0 such that all primes p>P0 have sequences of quadratic residues of length m. For m≤8 the smallest prime having m consecutive quadratic residues is ≡3(mod4) and P0≡1(mod4). The reason for this phenomenon is invest...
