Oct 29, 2021 at 20:01 comment added YCor How do you define "proportion of polynomials"? It needs to bound both the degrees and coefficients, so this looks very choice-sensitive.

Oct 29, 2021 at 13:47 comment added David E Speyer I want to make sure I understand the order of quantifiers here. For a fixed $f$, we define $T_f$ to be the set of primes for which $f(x)$ is bijective modulo $p$. So, if $f(x)= x^3$, then $T_f$ is the primes which are $2 \bmod 3$. In that case, the number of such primes which are $\leq y$ is $\sim \tfrac{y}{2 \log y}$, by the PNT in arithmetic progressions. You want to understand, instead, those polynomials $f$ for which $\#\{ p \in T_f: p \leq y \}$ is $O(\tfrac{y}{(\log y)^2})$. Is that right?

Oct 29, 2021 at 13:42 comment added Hhhhhhhhhhh Yes both x are different. I will edit it.
Oct 29, 2021 at 13:41 comment added Will Sawin Did you mean to have a parameter $x$ controlling the size of the primes which is different from the $x$ used as a variable in the polynomial?
