Abstract

Let p>3p>3 be a prime and (.p)(\frac{.}{p}) be the Legendre symbol. For any integer dd with pdp\nmid d and any positive integer mm, Sun introduced the determinants Tm(d,p)=det[(i2+dj2)m(i2+dj2p)]1i,j(p1)/2,T_m(d,p)=\det\left[(i^2+dj^2)^m\left(\frac{i^2+dj^2}{p}\right)\right]_{1\leqslant i,j \leqslant (p-1)/2}, and Dp(m)=det[(i2j2)m(i2j2p)]1i,j(p1)/2.D_p^{(m)}= \det\left[(i^2-j^2)^m\left(\frac{i^2-j^2}{p}\right)\right]_{1\leq i,j\leq (p-1)/2} . In this paper, we obtain some properties of Tm(d,p)T_m (d,p) and Dp(m) \sqrt{D_p^{(m)}} for some mm. We also confirm some related conjectures posed by Zhi-Wei Sun.
