Abstract
In this paper we confirm three conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on determinants. We first show that any odd integer divides the determinant where is any integer and is the Jacobi symbol. Then we prove some divisibility results concerning and , where and are integers. Finally, for any odd prime and integers and with , we determine completely the Legendre symbol , where .
