Let a be an integer that is not a square number and not −1. Write a = a 0 b 2 with a 0 square-free. Denote by S(a) the set of prime numbers p such that a is a primitive root modulo p. Then the conjecture states S(a) has a positive asymptotic density inside the set of primes. In particular, S(a) is infinite.
Prime-counting function: Number of primes less than or equal to a given number. Partition function: Order-independent count of ways to write a given positive integer as a sum of positive integers. Möbius μ function: Sum of the nth primitive roots of unity, it depends on the prime factorization of n. Prime omega functions; Chebyshev functions
If g is a primitive root modulo p, then g is also a primitive root modulo all powers p k unless g p −1 ≡ 1 (mod p 2); in that case, g + p is. [14] If g is a primitive root modulo p k, then g is also a primitive root modulo all smaller powers of p. If g is a primitive root modulo p k, then either g or g + p k (whichever one is odd) is a ...
The other primitive q-th roots of unity are the numbers where (a, q) = 1. Therefore, there are φ(q) primitive q-th roots of unity. Thus, the Ramanujan sum c q (n) is the sum of the n-th powers of the primitive q-th roots of unity. It is a fact [3] that the powers of ζ q are precisely the primitive roots for all the divisors of q. Example. Let ...
In mathematics, a primitive root may mean: Primitive root modulo n in modular arithmetic; Primitive nth root of unity amongst the solutions of z n = 1 in a field; See ...
If the modulus and conductor are equal the character is primitive, otherwise imprimitive. An imprimitive character is induced by the character for the smallest modulus: χ 16 , 9 {\displaystyle \chi _{16,9}} is induced from χ 8 , 5 {\displaystyle \chi _{8,5}} and χ 16 , 15 {\displaystyle \chi _{16,15}} and χ 8 , 7 {\displaystyle \chi _{8,7 ...
Every prime power (except powers of 2 greater than 4) has a primitive root; thus the multiplicative group of integers modulo p n (that is, the group of units of the ring Z/p n Z) is cyclic. [ 1 ] The number of elements of a finite field is always a prime power and conversely, every prime power occurs as the number of elements in some finite ...
For example, if n = 15, then λ(n) = 4 while () = and (()) =. There are four primitive λ-roots modulo 15, namely 2, 7, 8, and 13 as . The roots 2 and 8 are congruent to powers of each other and the roots 7 and 13 are congruent to powers of each other, but neither 7 nor 13 is congruent to a power of 2 or 8 and vice versa.
