Some notes about power residues modulo prime
Abstract
Let be a prime. We classify the odd primes such that the equation has a solution, concretely, we find a subgroup of the multiplicative group of integers relatively prime with (modulo ) such that has a solution iff for some . Moreover, is the only subgroup of of half order containing . Considering the ring , for any odd prime it is known that the equation has a solution iff the equation has a solution in the integers. We ask whether this can be extended in the context of with , namely: for any prime , is it true that has a solution iff the equation has a solution in the integers? Here represents the norm of the field extension of . We solve some weak versions of this problem, where equality with is replaced by (divisible by ), and the "norm" is considered for any in the place of .
