Sárközy's multiplicative irreducibility conjecture for shifted quadratic residues
Sárközy's multiplicative irreducibility conjecture for shifted quadratic residues
Let be a sufficiently large prime, and let denote the set of nonzero squares in . For , consider the shifted set . Sárközy's multiplicative irreducibility conjecture. For every , the set has no nontrivial multiplicative decomposition: there are no subsets with such that
This is the multiplicative analogue of Sárközy's conjecture on additive irreducibility of the quadratic residues. The supplied context states that the conjecture was completely resolved by Kalmynin, so its database status is solved.
