Generalized Giuga conjecture for finite commutative rings

About 10 years old · traced to

Let RR be a finite commutative unital ring, and let ∣R∣|R| denote its cardinality. Generalized Giuga conjecture.

∑r∈Rr∣R∣−1=−1\sum_{r\in R}r^{|R|-1}=-1

if and only if RR is a field. This generalizes the classical Giuga conjecture, which characterizes prime integers through the corresponding power sum modulo nn. The source proposes this statement as a generalization and gives no resolution; it remains open.
