Let $p$ a prime number and $N(p)$ the number of solution to $x^x \equiv 1$ (mod $p$) in $1\leq x \leq p$ . Prove that for sufficiently large $p$ there exist a constant $c < \frac{1}{2}$ such that $N(p) \leq p^c$

buts its just a request,dont take it as a command,i neither have rights to say so,nor i am not a owner of MO,so i said just for your benefit,as some people just look at such small mistakes,and comment without answering the main question,which happened in my case many times – Iyengar Sep 10 '11 at 11:48

@Mahan: Yes. On the left of each answer, you see an up-arrow, followed by a number, followed by a down-arrow. For your own questions, below the down-arrow you will also see a tick-mark. Clicking that will accept the answer, while clicking the arrows will allow you to upvote or downvote answers. The number inbetween shows the (number of upvotes) - (number of downvotes) for that answer. – TMM Sep 10 '11 at 16:59
