Abstract

For an integer m > 2, let δ(m) denote the asymptotic density of primes for which some power is congruent to −1 modulo m. This arithmetic function has a deep algebraic background as indicated in the title. The task ofthis paper is to obtain a precise asymptotic formula for the sum δ(m), 2<m≤x where x is a large real variable. Furthermore, an analogous result for higher power moments of δ(m) is established.


Keywords

Fermat curve, Jacobian variety, Euler totient function, primes.
