Two conjectures related to cubic residues
摘要
The main purpose of this paper is using analytic methods, an estimate for character sums, and the properties of the third-order characters to study the calculating problems of a certain cubic residues modulo p, an odd prime, and to give an exact computational formula for its counting function. This solves two conjectures proposed by X. Yuan and W. Zhang in [On cubic residues and related problems, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math., 54(3):806–815, 2023].
