A generalization of Schur's theorem and its application to consecutive power residues

Number Theory 2013-10-01 v1

Abstract

This article provides a proof of a generalization of Schur's theorem on the partition regularity of the equation x+y=z, which involves a divisibility condition. This generalization will be utilized to prove the existence of 'small' consecutive power residues modulo p, where p is a sufficiently large prime.
