Abstract

We prove some results conjectured by Zhi-Hong Sun regarding the value modp\mod p of εdp14\varepsilon_d^{\frac{p-1}4}, where εd\varepsilon_d is a unit of norm 1-1 in some fields Q(d)\mathbb Q(\sqrt d), with (1p)=(dp)=1\left(\frac{-1}p\right) =\left(\frac dp\right) =1. The answer is given in terms of how pp writes as p=f(x,y)=u2+v2p=f(x,y)=u^2+v^2, with x,y,u,vZx,y,u,v\in\mathbb Z, where ff is a certain quadratic form of determinant 4d-4d.
