    The authors study the set of differences \[ \{g^x - g^y ~(\text{mod} p); 1 \leq x, y \leq N\}, \] where \(p\) is a large prime number, \(g\) a primitive root (mod \(p\)) and \(p^{2/3} < N < p\) . They use techniques from [Isr. J. Math. 120, 271-287 (2000; Zbl 0991.11049)], a paper of \textit{Z. Rudnick} and \textit{A. Zaharescu}.
