Cohen–Sun–Vsemirnov's integral-square conjecture for S(1,p)

Let pp be a prime represented as

p=a2+4b2,p=a^2+4b^2,

where a,ba,b are integers and a1(mod4)a\equiv1\pmod4. Let

S(d,p):=det[(i2+dj2p)]1i,j(p1)/2.S(d,p):=\det\left[\left(\frac{i^2+dj^2}{p}\right)\right]_{1\le i,j\le (p-1)/2}.

Cohen–Sun–Vsemirnov's conjecture. The number S(1,p)/aS(1,p)/a is an integral square.

The conjecture is a refinement of known congruence information about Legendre-symbol determinants. It is confirmed in the paper: the stated d=1d=1 case follows from the theorem asserting that ε(d)S(d,p)/a\varepsilon(d)S(d,p)/a is an integral square.
