$k$th power residue chains of global fields
Abstract
In 1974, Vegh proved that if is a prime and a positive integer, there is an term permutation chain of th power residue for infinitely many primes [E.Vegh, th power residue chains, J.Number Theory, 9(1977), 179-181]. In fact, his proof showed that is an term permutation chain of th power residue for infinitely many primes. In this paper, we prove that for any "possible" term sequence , there are infinitely many primes making it an term permutation chain of th power residue modulo , where is an arbitrary positive integer [See Theorem 1.2]. From our result, we see that Vegh's theorem holds for any positive integer , not only for prime numbers. In fact, we prove our result in more generality where the integer ring is replaced by any -integer ring of global fields (i.e. algebraic number fields or algebraic function fields over finite fields).
