Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then g^(p-1)/2 ≡ -1 (mod p). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then go-1)/2 =-1 (mod p) Hint: Use Lemma 2 from Chapter 28 (If p is prime and d(p 1), then cd-1 Ξ 0 (mod p) has exactly d solutions). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive...
Let n = rs, where r and s are distinct odd primes. Show that there is not a primitive root modulo n. (Solve through letting L = LCM(r − 1, s − 1). Show that the order of any element of (Z/nZ)∗ is at most L, and that L < φ(n).)

Problem 2. Find a primitive root for 53. Using this, you can devise a bijection α from the integers modulo 52 to the nonzero integers modulo 53 with the property that α(a + b) = α(a)· α(b) modulo 53. Explain. Does the law of exponents get involved at all? Note: For this to work right, you can think of integers mod 52 as {0, 1, 2, . . . , 51} or as any complete system of residues modulo 52,...

(b) Let p be a prime that is congruent to 3 modulo 4. Let b ∈ Z. Let a = b (p+1)/4 . Show that a 2 ≡ ±b (mod p). (c) Give an algorithm to compute square roots of something modulo p, when p ≡ 3 (mod 4). Note: Not all things are square modulo p, so the algorithm should return the square root or inform you there is no square.
