Finiteness conjecture for Type (i) and Type (iia) power mappings
Finiteness conjecture for Type (i) and Type (iia) power mappings
Let be a positive integer, let be a prime with , and partition the reduced residues modulo into residue classes modulo . Let be a power permutation. Type (i) means that for every , while Type (iia) means that for some permutation of . Finiteness conjecture. Excluding , there are only finitely many Type (i) examples. Excluding , there are only finitely many Type (iia) examples. The conjecture formalizes the observed sparsity of these mappings beyond the trivial examples; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
