โฆ Synopsis
In two previous papers [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 117 (1993), 877-884], [J. Numher Theory 44 (1993), 214-221], a reciprocity relation for the power residue symbol of odd prime exponent, between Jacobi sums, was conjectured then proved. This is here extended to the case of an arbitrary exponent, as a consequence of an expression for the power residue character of a Jacobi sum, modulo a rational prime power, in terms of Fermat quotients. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

Consider an extension field F q m =F q (a) of the finite field F q . Davenport proved that the set F q +a contains at least one primitive element of F q m if q is sufficiently large with respect to m. This result is extended to certain subsets of F q +a of cardinality at least of the order of magnit
We study quadratic residue difference sets, GMW difference sets, and difference sets arising from monomial hyperovals, all of which are (2 d &1, 2 d&1 &1, 2 d&2 &1) cyclic difference sets in the multiplicative group of the finite field F 2 d of 2 d elements, with d 2. We show that, except for a few
We show that the T -module structure of a cyclotomic scheme is described in term of Jacobi sums. It holds that an irreducible T -module of a cyclotomic scheme fails to have maximal dimension if and only if Jacobi sums satisfy certain kind of equations, which are of some number theoretical interest i
