Let p=7, g=2. For X in [0,6], g^X takes on the values 1, 2, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1. This isn't uniform: it takes the value 1 thrice, the values 2 and 4 twice, and 3, 5, and 6 never. Am I misunderstanding your question? On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 4:08 PM, Henry Baker <hbaker1@pipeline.com> wrote:
Is this known or conjectured with a conjecture name?
If X is a uniform random distribution over [0,p-1], p prime, is g^X a uniform random distribution, for a generator g ?
