Expressing quartic Dirichlet characters modulo primes $p\equiv 1\bmod 4$ with Legendre symbols

Looking through some old notes of mine from two years ago I found some crude notes writing what amounted to the statement that for any prime $p\equiv 1\bmod 4$ one could express for any odd integer $p\...

Chowla's Construction of prime having least quadratic non-residue $\gg \log p$

This paper by NC Ankeny mentions that " S. Chowla has proved that there exist infinitely many primes $k$ where the first $c_1\log k$ residues $(\bmod k)$ are all quadratic residues". I recently ...

Averages of $L(s,\chi)$

Let $(\frac{m}{n})$ denote the usual quadratic Jacobi symbol. What is the abscissa of convergence of the double Dirichlet series ? $$ \sum_{\substack{m,n \in \mathbb{N} \\ \gcd(m,n)=1 \\m,n\equiv 1 \...

Quadratic equations over Gaussian integers

Given an equation $x^2\equiv(a+ib)\bmod(c+id)$ where $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb Z$ holds, how to test if the equation has solutions and how to find the solutions in polynomial in $\log(|abcd|)$ time if $c+id$ ...

Legendre Symbol of a Very, Very Large Value

I'm trying to use FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory) to calculate the Legendre Symbol of the following: $$\left(\frac{n! + 1}{p}\right)$$ In my case, $p$ is a positive, odd prime (specifically $...
