Scholz's reciprocity law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, Scholz's reciprocity law is a reciprocity law for quadratic residue symbols of real quadratic number fields discovered by Theodor Schönemann (1839) and rediscovered by Arnold Scholz (1929).

Statement[]

Suppose that p and q are rational primes congruent to 1 mod 4 such that the Legendre symbol (p/q) is 1. Then the ideal (p) factorizes in the ring of integers of Q(q) as (p)=
