gauss lemma <strong>and</strong> law <strong>of</strong> quadratic reciprocity 25(15) Suppose p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is quadratic residue mod p. Thenthere exist integers x, y such that (x 2 −a)modp = 0 <strong>and</strong> (y 2 −a)modp = 0<strong>and</strong> x ≢ y(mod p).Let f 1 be a finite sequence <strong>of</strong> elements <strong>of</strong> N <strong>and</strong> let us consider d. Note thatf 1 (d) is natural.We now state several propositions:(16) Suppose p > 2. Then there exists a finite sequence f 1 <strong>of</strong> elements <strong>of</strong> Nsuch that(i) len f 1 = (p − ′ 1) ÷ 2,(ii) for every d such that d ∈ dom f 1 holds gcd(f 1 (d), p) = 1,(iii) for every d such that d ∈ dom f 1 holds f 1 (d) is quadratic residue modp, <strong>and</strong>(iv) for all d, e such that d ∈ dom f 1 <strong>and</strong> e ∈ dom f 1 <strong>and</strong> d ≠ e holdsf 1 (d) ≢ f 1 (e)(mod p).(17) If p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is quadratic residue mod p, thena (p−′ 1)÷2 mod p = 1.(18) If p > 2 <strong>and</strong> b gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> b is not quadratic residue mod p, thenb (p−′ 1)÷2 mod p = p − 1.(19) If p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is not quadratic residue mod p, thena (p−′ 1)÷2 mod p = p − 1.(20) If p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is quadratic residue mod p, then(a (p−′ 1)÷2 − 1) mod p = 0.(21) If p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is not quadratic residue mod p, then(a (p−′ 1)÷2 + 1) mod p = 0.In the sequel b is an integer.One can prove the following propositions:(22) Suppose p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> b gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is quadratic residuemod p <strong>and</strong> b is quadratic residue mod p. Then a · b is quadratic residuemod p.(23) Suppose p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> b gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is quadratic residuemod p <strong>and</strong> b is not quadratic residue mod p. Then a · b is not quadraticresidue mod p.(24) Suppose p > 2 <strong>and</strong> a gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> b gcd p = 1 <strong>and</strong> a is not quadraticresidue mod p <strong>and</strong> b is not quadratic residue mod p. Then a·b is quadraticresidue mod p.Let a be an integer <strong>and</strong> let p be a prime number. The functor Lege(a, p)yielding an integer is defined by:(Def. 3)(i) Lege(a, p) = 1 if a is quadratic residue mod p,(ii) Lege(a, p) = −1 if a is not quadratic residue mod p,(iii) a is not quadratic residue mod p, otherwise.
