Permuting the partitions of a prime

Stéphane Vinatier (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

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.
