Ma–Zha–She coset equation conjecture

From papers

Let pp be an odd prime, let H=1,2Fp×H=\langle-1,2\rangle\subset\mathbb{F}_p^{\times}, let 0\ell_0 be the index parameter used for HH, and let gg be a generator of Fp×\mathbb{F}_p^{\times}. Ma–Zha–She conjecture. If 03\ell_0\geq 3, then there exist bgHb\in gH and cg2Hc\in g^2H such that

1+b+c=01+b+c=0

in Fp\mathbb{F}_p. The conjecture gives the coset triples needed for the preceding construction and, unlike the preceding formulation, does not assume 4op(2)4\nmid o_p(2).
