Abstract

It is known that under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the smallest quadratic non-residue modulo a prime p is less than or equal to (log p)2. In ranges slightly larger, of size (log p)A with A > 2, we consider chains of r consecutive quadratic non-residues. We prove unconditionally that for almost all primes p in short intervals, these chains exhibit Poisson behavior.
