Chowla–Mordell theorem
text:
In mathematics, the Chowla–Mordell theorem is a result in number theory determining cases where a Gauss sum is the square root of a prime number, multiplied by a root of unity. It was proved and published independently by Sarvadaman Chowla and Louis Mordell, around 1951. In detail, if p is a prime number, χ a nontrivial Dirichlet character modulo p , and where ζ is a primitive p -th root of unity in the complex numbers, then is a root of unity if and only if χ is the quadratic residue symbol mod
