The most natural extensions to the law of quadratic reciprocity are the rational reciprocity laws, described using the rational residue symbol. In this article, we provide a reciprocity law from which many of the known rational reciprocity laws may be recovered by picking appropriate primitive elements for subfields of (ޑζ p ). As an example, a new generalization of Burde's law is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
