Extract

No systematic study seems to have been made of so natural a question as the analogue for matrices of quadratic residues. One generalization of x2 (x an integer) is X2 (X an integral matrix). Another is X′ X, where the prime means “transpose”. We study here the solvability for X of the congruence

where p is a prime, r ≥ 1; I (the identity matrix) and X are n-by-n; and a is an integer not divisible by p2.
