Talk:Quartic reciprocity

Question: Is this omission significant, or accidental?
In, there is a definition "Let p = a2 + b2 &equiv; 1 (mod 4) be prime, and let i &equiv; b/a (mod p).". Since p is an odd prime, it is obvious that one summand must be even and one must be odd. In the previous and following sections, the same definition is used with the additional condition that b is the even one, but in, this additional condition is omitted, leading to two possible reciprocal values for i.

Is this intentional, or is the additional condition supposed to be implied? 97.102.205.224 (talk) 06:30, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
