Aug 4, 2010 at 7:25 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz I show that if $x^{n^2}-1$ does divide A(x)B(x) and A(x) is equally distributed mod n then B(x) is not equally distributed mod n.

Aug 4, 2010 at 7:20 comment added Fedor Petrov Oh, Aaaron, thanks! That's what I actually needed. Gjergji, I think Aaaron is correct: we assume that $A+B$ is full set of residues modulo $N$ ($N=n^2$ in my case), then we have such equality and that's it.

Aug 4, 2010 at 7:03 comment added Gjergji Zaimi I don't see how any of the facts you wrote help with this problem. Here we need to show that $x^{n^2}-1$ does not divide $A(x)B(x)$ in your notation...
