Ma–Zha–She coset equation conjecture

About 3 years old · traced to

Let pp be an odd prime, let H=⟨−1,2⟩⊂Fp×H=\langle-1,2\rangle\subset\mathbb{F}_p^{\times}, let ℓ0\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 ℓ0≥3\ell_0\geq 3, then there exist b∈gHb\in gH and c∈g2Hc\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 4∤op(2)4\nmid o_p(2).
