Résidus de puissances et formes quadratiques

Dominique Bernardi (1980)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Pour tout entier q et certains entiers n , les nombres premiers p - congrus à 1 modulo n - tels que q soit le résidu d’une puissance n -ième modulo p sont caractérisés par le fait que certains systèmes de φ ( n ) / 2 formes quadratiques à coefficients entiers en φ ( n ) variables représentent le φ ( n ) / 2 -uplet ( p , 0 , 0 ... , 0 ) . La démonstration de ce résultat est accompagnée d’une méthode explicite de construction de ces systèmes.

Short remark on Fibonacci-Wieferich primes

Jiří Klaška (2007)

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

This paper has been inspired by the endeavour of a large number of mathematicians to discover a Fibonacci-Wieferich prime. An exhaustive computer search has not been successful up to the present even though there exists a conjecture that there are infinitely many such primes. This conjecture is based on the assumption that the probability that a prime p is Fibonacci-Wieferich is equal to 1 / p . According to our computational results and some theoretical consideratons, another form of probability can...

Simple proofs of some generalizations of the Wilson’s theorem

Jan Górowski, Adam Łomnicki (2014)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia Mathematica

In this paper a remarkable simple proof of the Gauss’s generalization of the Wilson’s theorem is given. The proof is based on properties of a subgroup generated by element of order 2 of a finite abelian group. Some conditions equivalent to the cyclicity of (Φ(n), ·n), where n > 2 is an integer are presented, in particular, a condition for the existence of the unique element of order 2 in such a group.
