Sun's permutation conjecture for nonvanishing products modulo n

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let n>1n>1 be an integer, and let D(n)D(n) denote the set of positive divisors of nn. For integers m1,…,mn−1m_1,\ldots,m_{n-1}, assume that

∣{1⩽s<n: d∤ms}∣⩾d−1for every d∈D(n).\left|\{1\leqslant s<n:\ d\nmid m_s\}\right|\geqslant d-1\qquad\text{for every }d\in D(n).

Sun's conjecture. There exists a permutation σ\sigma of {1,…,n−1}\{1,\ldots,n-1\} such that n∤smσ(s)n\nmid s m_{\sigma(s)} for every s=1,…,n−1s=1,\ldots,n-1. Theorem 1.1 in the paper confirms this conjecture in the cyclic-group case.
