Problems and results on determinants involving Legendre symbols (2405.03626v8)

Published 6 May 2024 in math.NT

Abstract: In this paper we investigate determinants whose entries are linear combinations of Legendre symbols. We deduce some new results in this direction; for example, we prove that for any prime $p\equiv3\pmod4$ we have $$\det\left[x+\left(\frac{j-k}p\right)+\left(\frac jp\right)-\left(\frac kp\right)\right]{0\le j,k\le(p-1)/2}=4,$$ where $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ is the Legendre symbol. We also pose many conjectures for further research. For example, for any prime $p>3$ we conjecture that \begin{align*}&\ \det\left[\left(\frac{j+k}p\right)+\left(\frac{j-k}p\right)+\left(\frac{jk}p\right)\right]{1\le j,k\le(p-1)/2} \=&\ \begin{cases}(\frac 2p)p{(p-5)/4}&\text{if}\ p\equiv1\pmod4, \(-1){(h(-p)-1)/2}(1-(2-(\frac 2p))h(-p))p{(p-3)/4}&\text{if}\ p\equiv3\pmod4, \end{cases}\end{align*} where $h(-p)$ is the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-p})$.
