A new formulation of the law of octic reciprocity for primes ≡±3(mod8) and its consequences

Let p and q be odd primes with q≡±3(mod8), p≡1(mod8)=a2+b2=c2+d2 and with the signs of a and c chosen so that a≡c≡1(mod4). In this paper we show step-by-step how to easily obtain for large q necessary and sufficient criteria to have (−1(q−1)/2q(p−1)/8≡(a−b)d/ac)j(modp) for j=1,…,8 (the cases with j...
