(proposed by B. Bayarjargal)
To prove the existence of infinitely many integer pairs such that and , we will proceed as follows:
1. **Understanding the Set **:
The set is defined as . This means that any element in can be written as for some integers and with .
2. Quadratic Residue Condition:
For , must be a quadratic residue modulo . This can be expressed using the Legendre symbol . Using quadratic reciprocity, we know that if and only if or .
3. **Legendre Symbol for **:
Similarly, if and only if or .
4. **Finding and **:
We need to find and such that is not in the set of numbers where is a quadratic residue modulo , but is in .
5. **Choosing and **:
Let be odd and be even. This ensures that is odd. We need to ensure that is not one of the numbers where is a quadratic residue modulo .
6. **Checking **:
For an odd , . For an even , if , then . For example, .
7. Example:
Let and . Then:
Since is in the set of numbers where is a quadratic residue modulo , .
8. Ensuring Infinitely Many Pairs:
We can generalize this by considering and for integers and . This ensures that there are infinitely many such pairs .
9. Conclusion:
Therefore, there exist infinitely many integer pairs such that and .
