Abstract

top
Given an odd prime number p , we characterize the partitions ̲ of p with p non negative parts 0 1 ... p - 1 0 for which there exist permutations σ , τ of the set { 0 , ... , p - 1 } such that p divides i = 0 p - 1 i σ ( i ) but does not divide i = 0 p - 1 i τ ( i ) . This happens if and only if the maximal number of equal parts of ̲ is less than p - 2 . The question appeared when dealing with sums of p -th powers of resolvents, in order to solve a Galois module structure problem.

AB - Given an odd prime number $p$, we characterize the partitions $\underline{\ell }$ of $p$ with $p$non negative parts $\ell _0\ge \ell _1\ge \ldots \ge \ell _{p-1}\ge 0$ for which there exist permutations $\sigma ,\tau $ of the set $\lbrace 0,\ldots ,p-1\rbrace $ such that $p$ divides $\sum _{i=0}^{p-1}i\ell _{\sigma (i)}$ but does not divide $\sum _{i=0}^{p-1}i\ell _{\tau (i)}$. This happens if and only if the maximal number of equal parts of $\underline{\ell }$ is less than $p-2$. The question appeared when dealing with sums of $p$-th powers of resolvents, in order to solve a Galois module structure problem.
