    - **Title and Sections:**
        - The title of this section is "4.5 Interlude: the ring of integers modulo n."
    - **Theorems:**
        - **Theorem 4.5.4:**
          \[
          \text{Let } n = p_1^{r_1} p_2^{r_2} \cdots p_k^{r_k}. \text{ The mapping which associates with each } x \in \mathbb{Z}, \, \text{the } r\text{-tuple } (x_1, x_2, ..., x_r),
          \]
          where \(x_i = x \mod p_i^{r_i} \) (i = 1,...,r), is a ring isomorphism of \( \mathbb{Z}_n \) with the ring of \( r \) -tuples \( (x_1, x_2, ..., x_r) \) in which:
          - (a) \( x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{p_i^{r_i}} \) (i = 1,...,r) and
          - (b) \( (x_1, ..., x_r) + (y_1, ..., y_r) = (x_1 + y_1, ..., x_r + y_r ) \)
          - (c) \( (x_1, ..., x_r) \cdot (y_1, ..., y_r) = (x_1 \cdot y_1, ..., x_i \cdot y_i) \)
          - (d) In (b), the \(i\)th \( + \) sign on the right side is the addition operation of \( \mathbb{Z}_{p_i^{r_i}} \) and in (c) the \(i\)th \( \, \cdot \) sign is the multiplication operation of \( \mathbb{Z}_{p_i^{r_i}} \), for each i = 1,2,...,r.
          - **Proof:** The proof of theorem 4.5.4 follows at once from the previous theorem.
        
        - **Theorem 4.5.5 ('The Chinese Remainder Theorem'):**
          \[
          \text{Let } m_i (i = 1,...,r) \,  \text{be pairwise relatively prime positive integers, and let}
          \]
          \[
          M = m_1m_2...m_r.
          \]
          Then the mapping that associates with each integer \(x \, (0 \leq x \leq M - 1) \) the \(r\)-tuple \((b_1, ..., b_r), \, \text{where } \, b_i = x \mod m_i (i = 1,...,r), \text{ is a bijection between } \mathbb{Z}_M \text{ and } \mathbb{Z}_{m_1} \times ...  \times \mathbb{Z}_{m_r}.
        
          - **Proof 1:** 
                - We must show that each \( r \)-tuple \( (b_1, ..., b_r) \) such that \( 0 \leq b_i < m_i (i = 1,...,r) \) occurs exactly once. 
                - There are obviously \( M \) such vectors, and so it will be sufficient to show that each of them occurs at most once as the image of some \( x \).
                - In the contrary case, we would have \( x \) and \( x' \) both corresponding to \((b_1, b_2, ..., b_r)\).
                - But then \( x - x' \equiv 0 \mod \, \text{each of} \, m_i. \text{ Hence } x - x' \text{ is divisible by } M = m_1 m_2 ... m_r. \, \text{But } 0 \leq x' < M, \text{ hence } x = x'.
        
          - **Proof 2:** 
                - Here's how to compute a number \( x \) that satisfies the simultaneous congruences \( x \equiv b_i \mod m_i \, (i = 1,....,r).
                - First, by the extended Euclidean algorithm we can quickly find \( t_1, t_2, ..., t_r \), such that \( t_i(M/m_i) + u_im_i = 1 \) for j = 1, ..., r.
                - Then we claim that the number \[ x = \sum_{j=1}^{r} b_j t_j (M/m_j) \text{ satisfies all of the given congruences.}\]
                - Indeed, for each \( k = 1, ..., r \) we have:
                  \[
                  x = \sum_{j=1}^{r} b_j t_j (M/m_j)
                  \]
                  \[
                  \equiv b_k t_k (M/m_k) \mod m_k \equiv b_k (mod \, m_k)
                  \]
                  - where the first congruence holds because \( t_j (M/m_j), j \neq k) \equiv 0 \mod m_k \) is divisible by \( m_k \), and the second congruence follows since \[
                  t_k(M/m_k) = 1 - u_k m_k \equiv 1 \mod m_k,
                  \]
                  completing the second proof of the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

          - **Conclusion:** Now the proof of theorem 4.5.4 follows easily, and is left as an exercise for the reader. 
            - The factorization that is described in detail in theorem 4.5.4 will be written symbolically as:
              \[
              \mathbb{Z}_n \cong \bigoplus_{i=1}^{r} \mathbb{Z}_{p_i^{r_i}}. (4.5.2)
              \]
            - The factorization (4.5.2) of the ring \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) induces a factorization:
              \[
              U_{n} \cong \bigoplus_{i=1}^{r} U_{p_i^{r_i}}. (4.5.3)
              \]

Hence in either case \( B' \subset B \), where \( B \) is the set defined in the statement of lemma 4.7.2 above. If \( B' \) generates the full group \( U_n \), then \( B \) does too, and by lemma 4.7.2, \( n \) is a prime power, say \( n = p^k \). Also, in either of the above cases we have \( b^n \equiv 1 \), so the same holds for all \( b \in B' \), and so for all \( x \in U_n \), we have \( x^{n-1} \equiv 1 \), since \( B \) generates \( U_n \).

Now, \( g \) is cyclic or order 

\[
\phi(n) = \phi(p^k) = p^{k-1}(p - 1).
\]

By theorem 4.5.3 there are primitive roots modulo \( n = p^k \). Let \( g \) be one of these. The order of \( g \) is, on the one hand, \( p^{k-1}(p - 1) \) since the set of all its powers is identical with \( U_n \), and on the other hand is a divisor of \( n - 1 = p^k - 1 \) since \( x^{n-1} \equiv 1 \) for all \( x \), and in particular for \( g \).

Hence \( p^{k-1}(p - 1) \) (which, if \( k > 1 \), is a multiple of \( p \)) divides \( p^k - 1 \) (which is one less than a multiple of \( p \)), and so \( k = 1 \), which completes the proof of part (a) of the theorem.

In part (b), \( n \) is composite and so \( B' \) cannot generate all of \( U_n \) by part (a). Hence \( B' \) generates a proper subgroup of \( U_n \), and so can contain at most half as many elements as \( U_n \) contains, and the proof is complete.

Another application of the same circle of ideas to compute elegant occurrences in the generation of random numbers on a computer. A good way to do this is to choose a primitive root modulo the word size of your computer, and then, each time the user asks for a random number, output the next highest power of the primitive root. The fact that you started with a primitive root insures that the number of 'random numbers' generated before repetition sets in will be as large as possible. 

Now we’ll summarize the way in which the primality test is used. Suppose there is a large integer \( n \), and we would like to determine if it is prime. We define 

``` 
function test(n, outcome);
    times := 0; 
repeat 
    choose an integer \( r \) uniformly at random in \( [2, n-1] \);
    apply the strong pseudorandomity test (Test 4) to the 
    pair \( (n, r) \); 
    times := times + 1 
until [result='n is composite' or times = 100]; 
    if times = 100 then outcome:='n probably prime' 
    else outcome:='n is composite' 
end(test) 
```

If the procedure exits with 'n is composite', then we can be certain that \( n \) is not prime. If we want to see the factors of \( n \) then it will be necessary to use some factorization algorithm, such as the one described below in section 4.9.

On the other hand, if the procedure halts because it has been through 100 trials without a conclusive result, then the integer \( n \) is very probably prime. More precisely, the chance that a composite integer \( n \) would have behaved like that is less than \( 2^{-100} \). If we want certainty, however, it will be necessary to apply a test whose outcome will prove primality, such as the algorithm of Adleman, Rumely and Pomerance, referred to earlier.

In section 4.9 we will discuss a probabilistic factoring algorithm. Before doing so, in the next section we will present a remarkable application of the complexity of the factoring problem, to cryptography. Such applications remind us that primality and factorization algorithms have important applications beyond pure mathematics, in areas of vital public concern.

learned nothing. However if neither \( u \equiv v \, (\text{mod} \, n) \) nor \( u \equiv -v \, (\text{mod} \, n) \) is true then we will have found a nontrivial factor of \( n \), namely \(\gcd(u - v, n)\) or \(\gcd(u + v, n)\).

## Example:
Take as a factor base \( B = \{-2, 5\} \), and let it be required to find a factor of \( n = 1729 \). Then we claim that 186 and 267 are B-numbers. To see that 186 is a B-number, note that \( 186^2 \equiv 20 \, \text{(mod} \, (-2)^2) \), and similarly, since \( 267^2 \equiv 41 - 1729 + (-2)^2 \), we see that 267 is a B-number, for this factor base \( B \).

The exponent vectors of 186 and 267 are \( (4, 0) \) and \( (4, 2) \) respectively, and these sum to \( (0, 0) \) (mod 2), hence we find that

\[
u = 186 \times 267 = 1729 \, (\text{mod} \, 1729)
\]
\[
r_1 = 4; \quad r_2 = 1
\]
\[
s_1 = (-2)^{(5)} = 80
\]
\[
\gcd(u - v, n) = \gcd(1170, 1729) = 13
\]

and we have found the factor 13 of 1729.

There might have seemed to be some legerdemain involved in plucking the B-numbers 186 and 267 out of the air, in the example above. In fact, as the algorithm has been implemented by its author, J. D. Dixon, one simply chooses integers uniformly at random from \([1, n-1]\) until enough B-numbers have been found, so their exponent vectors are linearly dependent modulo 2. In Dixon's implementation the factor base that is used consists of \( 1 \) together with the first \( k \) prime numbers.

It can then be proved that if \( n \) is not a prime power then with a correct choice of \( b \) relative to \( n \), if we repeat the random choices until a factor of \( n \) is found, the average running time will be 

\[
\exp\left(2 + o(1)\right)(\log \log n)^{3}.
\]

This is not polynomial time, but it is moderately exponential only. Nevertheless, it is close to being about the best that we know how to do on the elusive problem of factoring a large integer.

## 4.10 Proving primality
In this section we will consider a problem that sounds a lot like primality testing, but is really a little different because the rules of the game are different. Basically the problem is to convince a skeptical audience that a certain integer \( n \) is prime, requiring them to do only a small amount of computation in order to be so persuaded.

First, though, suppose you were writing a 100-decimal-digit integer on the blackboard in front of a large audience and you wanted to prove to them that it was not a prime.

If you simply wrote down two smaller integers whose product was \( n \), the job would be done. Anyone who wished to be certain could spend a few minutes multiplying the factors together and verifying that the product was indeed \( n \), and all doubts would be dispelled.

Indeed*, a speaker at a mathematical convention in 1903 announced the result that \( 2^{n} - 1 \) is not a prime number, and to be utterly convincing all he had to do was to write 

\[
2^{n} - 1 = 193707721 \times 761838257287.

Context: # Chapter 4: Algorithms in the Theory of Numbers

learned nothing. However if neither \( u \equiv (mod \, n) \) nor \( u \equiv -v \, (mod \, n) \) is true then we will have found a nontrivial factor of \( n \), namely \( \gcd(u - v, n) \) or \( \gcd(u + v, n) \).

## Example:
Take as a factor base \( B = \{-2, 5\} \), and let it be required to find a factor of \( n = 1729 \). Then we claim that 186 and 267 are B-numbers. To see that 186 is a B-number, note that \( 186^2 = 20 - 1729 + (-2)^2 \); and similarly, since \( 267^2 = 41 - 1729 + (-2)^2 \), we see that 267 is a B-number, for this factor base \( B \).

The exponent vectors of 186 and 267 are \( (4, 0) \) and \( (4, 2) \) respectively, and these sum to \( (0, 1) \) mod \( 2 \), hence we find that

\[
u = 186 \times 267 = 1250 \, \quad (mod \, 1729)
\]
\[
r_1 = 4 \, \quad r_2 = 1 \\
r_1 = 2^{(-2)}(5^1) = 80 \\
\gcd(u - v, n) = \gcd(1170, 1729) = 13
\]

There might have seemed to be some legerdemain involved in plugging the B-numbers 186 and 267 out of the air, in the example above. In fact, as the algorithm has been implemented by its author, J. D. Dixon, one simply chooses integers uniformly at random from \([1, n-1]\) until enough B-numbers have been found, so their exponent vectors are linearly dependent modulo 2. In Dixon’s implementation the factor base that is used consists of \( -1 \) together with the first \( k \) prime numbers.

It can then be proved that if \( n \) is not a prime power then with a correct choice of \( b \) relative to \( n \), if we repeat the random choices until a factor of \( n \) is found, the average running time will be:

\[
\mathrm{exp}((2 + o(1))(\log \log n)^3).
\]

This is not polynomial time, but it is moderately exponential only. Nevertheless, it is close to being about the best that we know how to do on the elusive problem of factoring a large integer.

## 4.10 Proving primality
In this section we will consider a problem that sounds a lot like primality testing, but is really a little different because the rules of the game are different. Basically the problem is to convince a skeptical audience that a certain integer is prime, requiring them to do only a small amount of computation in order to be so persuaded.

First, though, suppose you were writing a 100-decimal-digit integer \( n \) on the blackboard in front of a large audience and you wanted to prove to them that \( n \) was not a prime.

If you simply wrote down two smaller integers whose product was \( n \), the job would be done. Anyone who wished to be certain could spend a few minutes multiplying the factors together and verifying the product was indeed \( n \), and all doubts would be dispelled.

Indeed*, a speak ear at a mathematical convention in 1903 announced the result that \( 2^{67} - 1 \) is not a prime number, and to be utterly convincing all he had to do was to write:

\[
2^{67} - 1 = 193707721 \times 761838257287.
\]

We note that the speaker probably had to work very hard to find those factors, but having found them it became quite easy to convince others of the truth of the claimed result.

A pair of integers \( r, s \) for which \( r \, | \, s \, | \, n \) and \( n = r s \) constitute a certificate attesting to the compositeness of \( n \). With this certificate \( C(n) \) and an auxiliary checking algorithm, viz.
1. Verify that \( r \neq 1 \) and that \( r \neq s \).
2. Verify that \( s \neq n \).

we can prove, in polynomial time, that \( n \) is not a prime number.

(A4) Check that \( x^{p-1} \equiv 1 \, (\text{mod } p) \).

Now let's look at the complexity of algorithm \( A \).  
We will measure its complexity by the number of times that we have to do a computation of either of the types (a) `is \( m = \prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{e_i} \)?` or (b) `is \( g^s \equiv 1 \, (\text{mod } p) \)`?  
Let \( f(p) \) be that number. Then we have (remembering that the algorithm calls itself \( t \) times)

\[
f(p) = 1 + \sum_{i=2}^{r} f(p_i) + r + 1
\] (4.10.1)

in which the four terms, as written, correspond to the four steps in the checking algorithm. The sum begins with \( i = 2 \) because the prime 2, which is always a divisor of \( p - 1 \), is 'free.'  
Now (4.10.1) can be written as

\[
g(p) = 1 + f(p)
\] (4.10.2)

where \( g(p) = 1 + f(p) \). We claim that \( g(p) \leq 4 \log_2 p \) for all \( p \).  
This is surely true if \( p = 2 \). If true for primes less than \( p \) then from (4.10.2),

\[
g(p) \leq \sum_{i=2}^{r} \{ 4 \log_2 p_i \} + 4
\]
\[
= 4 \log_2 \left( \prod_{i=2}^{r} p_i \right) + 4
\]
\[
\leq 4 \log_2 \left( \frac{p-1}{2} \right) + 4
\]
\[
= 4 \log_2 (p - 1) \leq 4 \log_2 p.
\]

Hence \( f(p) \leq 4 \log_2 p - 1 \) for all \( p \geq 2 \).  
Since the number of bits in \( p \) is \( \Theta(\log p) \), the number \( f(p) \) is a number of executions of steps that is a polynomial in the length of the input bit string. We leave to the exercises the verification that the steps that \( f(p) \) counts is also executed in polynomial time, so the entire primality-verification procedure operates in polynomial time. This yields

**Theorem 4.10.1.** (V. Pratt, 1975) There exists a checking algorithm and a certificate such that primality can be verified in polynomial time.

## Exercises for Section 4.10

1. Show that two positive integers of \( b \) bits each can be multiplied with at most \( O(b^2) \) bit operations (multiplications and carries).
2. Prove that step A1 of algorithm \( A \) can be executed in polynomial time, where time is now measured by the number of bit operations that are implied by the integer multiplications.
3. Same as exercise 2 above, for steps 43 and A4.
4. Write out the complete certificate that attests to the primality of \( p \).
5. Find an upper bound for the total number of bits that are in the certificate of the integer \( p \).
6. Carry out the complete checking algorithm on the certificate that you prepared in exercise 4 above.
7. Let \( p = 15 \). Show that there is no integer \( x \) as described in the hypotheses of lemma 4.10.1.
8. Let \( p = 17 \). Find all integers \( x \) that satisfy the hypotheses of lemma 4.10.1.

Context: # Preface

These lectures are intended as an introduction to the elementary theory of numbers. I use the word “elementary” both in the technical sense—complex variable theory is to be avoided—and in the usual sense—that of being easy to understand, I hope.

I shall not concern myself with questions of foundations and shall presuppose familiarity only with the most elementary concepts of arithmetic, i.e., elementary divisibility properties, e.g., (greatest common divisor), l.c.m. (least common multiple), essentially unique factorization into primes and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: if \( p \mid ab \) then \( p \mid a \) or \( p \mid b \).

I shall consider a number of rather distinct topics each of which could easily be the subject of 15 lectures. Hence, I shall not be able to penetrate deeply in any direction. On the other hand, it is well known that in number theory, more than in any other branch of mathematics, it is easy to reach the frontiers of knowledge. It is easy to propound problems in number theory that are unsolved. I shall mention many of these problems; but the trouble with the natural problems of number theory is that they are either too easy or much too difficult. I shall therefore try to expose some problems that are of interest and unsolved but for which there is at least a reasonable hope for a solution by you or me.

The topics I hope to touch on are outlined in the Table of Contents, as are some of the main reference books.

Most of the material I want to cover will consist of old theorems proved in old ways, but I also hope to produce some old theorems proved in new ways and some new theorems proved in old ways. Unfortunately I cannot produce many new theorems proved in really new ways.
