On a generalization of R. Chapman’s “evil determinant”
- Open AccessOn restricted sums of four squares and Zhi-Wei Sun's $x+24y$ conjectureIn this paper, by using the arithmetic theory of ternary quadratic forms, we study some refinements on Lagrange's four-square theorem. For example, given positive integers $a,b$ satisfying some algebraic conditions and a positive integer $C\ge3$, we will show that for any sufficiently large integer $n$ with $\ord_2(n)\le C$, there exist non-negative integers $x,y,z,w$ such that $$ \begin{cases} x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2=n, ax+by\in\mathcal{S}, \end{cases} $$ where $\mathcal{S}$ is the set of all squares over $\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we obtain some progress on Zhi-Wei Sun's $x+24y$ conjecture.Open AccessOn restricted sums of four squares and Zhi-Wei Sun's $x+24y$ conjectureIn this paper, by using the arithmetic theory of ternary quadratic forms, we study some refinements on Lagrange's four-square theorem.

On finite field analogues of determinants involving the Beta function
Motivated by the works of L. Carlitz, R. Chapman and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices concerning Jacobi sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of certain matrices involving the Beta function. For example, let q>1 be a prime power and let χ be a generator of the group of all multiplicative characters of Fq. Then we prove that det[Jq(χi,χj)]1≤i,j≤q−2=(q−1)q−3, where Jq(χi,χj) is the Jacobi sum over Fq. This is a finite analogue of det[B(i,j)]1≤i,j≤n=(−1)n(n−1)/2∏r=0n−1(r!)3(n+r)!, where B is the Beta function. Also, if q=p≥5 is an odd prime, then we show that det[Jp(χ2i,χ2j)]1≤i,j≤(p−3)/2=1+(−1)(p+1)/2p4(p−12)(p−5)/2.

A CONJECTURE OF ZHI-WEI SUN ON MATRICES CONCERNING MULTIPLICATIVE SUBGROUPS OF FINITE FIELDS
Motivated by the recent work of Zhi-Wei Sun [‘Problems and results on determinants involving Legendre symbols’, Preprint, arXiv:2405.03626], we study some matrices concerning subgroups of finite fields. For example, let $q\equiv 3\pmod 4$ be an odd prime power and let $\phi $ be the unique quadratic multiplicative character of the finite field $\mathbb {F}_q$ . If the set $\{s_1,\ldots ,s_{(q-1)/2}\}=\{x^2:\ x\in \mathbb {F}_q\setminus \{0\}\}$ , then we prove that $$ \begin{align*}\det[t+\phi(s_i+s_j)+\phi(s_i-s_j)]_{1\le i,j\le (q-1)/2}=\bigg(\frac{q-1}{2}t-1\bigg)q^{{(q-3)}/{4}}.\end{align*} $$ This confirms a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun.- 27 September 2024

On a generalization of R. Chapman's "evil determinant"
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $x$ be an indeterminate. Recently, Z.-W. Sun proposed the following conjecture: $$\det\left[x+\left(\frac{j-i}{p}\right)\right]_{0\le i,j\le \frac{p-1}{2}}=\begin{cases} (\frac{2}{p})pb_px-a_p & \mbox{if}\ p\equiv 1\pmod4, 1 & \mbox{if}\ p\equiv 3\pmod4, \end{cases}$$ where $a_p$ and $b_p$ are rational numbers related to the fundamental unit and class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$. In this paper, we confirm the above conjecture of Sun based on Vsemirnov's decomposition of Chapman's "evil determinant".Open AccessOn a generalization of R. Chapman's "evil determinant"

Inspired by the works of L. Carlitz and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, in this paper, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices involving Gauss sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of certain matrices related to the Gamma function. For example, let $q=p^n$ be an odd prime power with $p$ prime and $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$. Let $ζ_p=e^{2π{\bf i}/p}$ and let $χ$ be a generator of the group of all mutiplicative characters of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. For the Gauss sum $$G_q(χ^{r})=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}χ^{r}(x)ζ_p^{{\rm Tr}_{\mathbb{F}_q/\mathbb{F}_p}(x)},$$ we prove that $$\det \left[G_q(χ^{2i+2j})\right]_{0\le i,j\le (q-3)/2}=(-1)^{α_p}\left(\frac{q-1}{2}\right)^{\frac{q-1}{2}}2^{\frac{p^{n-1}-1}{2}},$$ where $$α_p= \begin{cases} 1 & \mbox{if}\ n\equiv 1\pmod 2, (p^2+7)/8 & \mbox{if}\ n\equiv 0\pmod 2. \end{cases}$$Open AccessOn cyclotomic matrices involving Gauss sums over finite fields
