Target entity: quadratic reciprocity law
Context triple: [Gauss’s lemma (number theory), relatedTo, quadratic reciprocity law]
  • A. Gauss’s lemma in number theory
    Gauss’s lemma in number theory is a result that relates the Legendre symbol to the number of sign changes in a certain sequence of multiples, providing a practical criterion for determining quadratic residues modulo an odd prime.
  • B. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is a result in number theory stating exactly which prime numbers (and, more generally, which integers) can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares.
  • C. Lagrange's four-square theorem
    Lagrange's four-square theorem is a fundamental result in number theory stating that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of four integer squares.
  • D. Gaussian periods
    Gaussian periods are special algebraic sums of roots of unity that play a key role in number theory, particularly in constructing regular polygons like the 17-gon with straightedge and compass and in understanding cyclotomic fields.
  • E. Disquisitiones Arithmeticae
    Disquisitiones Arithmeticae is a foundational 1801 treatise on number theory that systematically developed the subject and introduced many of its central concepts and methods.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
