COMMENT

It's worth observing that there are p-1 elements of order dividing p-1 modulo

p^2 that are of the form r^(k*p) mod p^2 where r is a primitive

element modulo p and k=0,1,...,p-2. Heuristically, one can expect that

at least one of them belongs to the interval [2,p-1] with the

probability about 1 - (1 - 1/p)^(p-1) ~= 1 - 1/e.

Numerically, among primes below 1000 (of the total number

pi(1000)=168) there 103 terms of your sequence, and the ratio 103/168

~= 0.613 which is already somewhat close to 1-1/e ~= 0.632.

As of replacing p^2 with p^3, heuristically it likely that the

sequence is finite (since 1 - (1 - 1/p^2)^(p-1) tends to 0 as p

grows). [Max Alekseyev]
