Abstract
In this short note, we introduce an analogue of Wilson's theorem for all nonzero elements of a finite filed with , as follows: which the left hand side of above formula is the th elementary symmetric polynomial evaluated at . Specially, letting with , reproves Wilson's theorem and yields some Wilson type identities. Finally, we obtain an analogue of Wolstenholme's theorem for nonzero elements of a finite filed.
