3 266 F. Luca, P. Stănică, A. Yalçiner Conjecture 1.1. There are only finitely many M such that F M is a multilicative grou. Shah [5] and Bruckner [1] roved that if is rime and F is the entire multilicative grou modulo, then {2, 3, 5, 7}. We do not know of many results in the literature addressing the multilicative order of a Fibonacci number with resect to another Fibonacci number, although in [3] it was shown that if F n F n+1 is corime to F m and F n+1 /F n has order s {1, 2, 4} modulo F m, then m < 500s 2. Moreover, Burr [2] showed that F n (mod m) contains a comlete set of residues modulo m if and only if m is of the forms: {1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 14, 3 j } 5 k, where k 0, j 1. In this aer, we rove that if M = F m is a Fibonacci number itself, or M = L m, then Conjecture 1.1 holds in the following strong form. Theorem 1.2. If M = F m and F M is a multilicative grou, then m 6. If M = L m and F M is a multilicative grou, then m 4. We also show that for most ositive integers M, F M is not a multilicative grou. Theorem 1.3. For x 3, the number of M x such that F M is a multilicative subgrou is O(x/(log x) 1/8 ). In articular, the set of M such that F M is a multilicative subgrou is of asymtotic density Proof of Theorem 1.2 We first deal with the case of the Fibonacci numbers. It is well-known that the Fibonacci sequence is urely eriodic modulo every ositive integer M. When M = F m, then the eriod is at most 4m. Thus, #F M 4m, Let ω(m) be the number of distinct rime factors of m. Assume that X is some ositive integer such that π(x) ω(m) + 4. (2.1) Here, π(x) is the number of rimes X. Then there exist three odd rimes < q < r X none of them dividing m. For a trile (a, b, c) {0, 1,..., (4m) 1/3 }, we look at the congruence class F a F b q F c r (mod M). There are ( (4m) 1/3 + 1) 3 > 4m #F M such elements modulo M, so they cannot be all distinct. Thus, there are (a 1, b 1, c 1 ) (a 2, b 2, c 2 ) such that F a1 Fq b1 Fr c1 F a2 Fq b2 Fr c2 (mod M). Hence, F a1 a2 Fq b1 b2 Fr c1 c2 1 (mod M). Observe that the rational number x = F a1 a2 Fq b1 b2 Fr c1 c2 1 cannot be zero because F, F q, F r are all larger than 1 and corime any two. Thus, M divides the numerator of the nonzero rational number x, and so we get F m = M F a1 a2 F q b1 b2 F r c1 c2. (2.2)
4 When do the Fibonacci invertible classes modulo M form a subgrou? 267 We now use the fact that α k 2 F k α k 1 for all k = 1, 2..., where α = (1 + 5)/2, to deduce from (2.2) that so that therefore α m 2 F m (F F q F r ) (4m)1/3 < (α X 1 ) 3(4m)1/3, m < 3(4m) 1/3 X + 2 3(4m) 1/3 < 3(4m) 1/3 X, m < 6 3X 3/2. (2.3) Let us now get some bounds on m. We take X = m 1/2. Assuming X > 17 (so, m > 17 2 ), we have, by Theorem 2 in [4], that Since 2 ω(m) m, we have that π(x) > X log X = 2m1/2 log m. ω(m) log m log 2. Thus, inequality (2.1) holds for our instance rovided that 2m 1/2 log m > log m log 2 + 4, which holds for all m > Now inequality (2.3) tells us that m < 6 3m 3/4, therefore m < (6 3) 4 < (2.4) Let us reduce the above bound on m. Since = > m, it then follows that ω(m) 5, therefore it is enough to choose X = 23 to be the 9th rime and then inequality (2.1) holds. Thus, (2.3) tells us that m /2 < We covered the rest of the range with Mathematica. That is, for each m [10, 1200], we took the first two odd rimes and q which do not divide m and checked whether for some ositive integer n 4m both congruences F n 1 (mod F m ) and Fq n 1 (mod F m ). The only m s that assed this test were m = 10, 11. We covered the rest by hand. The only values m that satisfy the hyothesis of the theorem are m = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. If M = L m, then, the argument is similar to the one above u and we oint out the differences only. The eriod of the Fibonacci numbers modulo a Lucas number
5 268 F. Luca, P. Stănică, A. Yalçiner L m is at most 8m, and so #F M 8m. As before, one takes X as in (2.1), and the trile (a, b, c) {0, 1,..., 2m 1/3 }, imlying an inequality as in (2.2), namely L m = M F a1 a2 Since for all k 1, α k 1 L k α k+1, then F q b1 b2 F r c1 c2. (2.5) α m 1 L m (F F q F r ) 2m1/3 α 6(X+1)m1/3, and so, m < 6m 1/3 X m 1/3 < 13m 1/3 X, which imlies m < 13 3/2 X 3/2. (2.6) The argument we used before with X = m 1/2 works here, as well, rendering the bound m < 13 6 = 4, 826, 809. We can decrease the bound by using the fact that the roduct of all rimes u to 19 is 9,699,690 > 4,826,809, and so, ω(m) 7, therefore, it is enough to choose X = 31 (the 11th rime) for the inequality (2.1) to hold. We use X = 31 in the formula before (2.6) to get m 192 m 1/3 1 < 0, which imlies m < 14 3 = 2744 (to see that, label y := m 1/3 and look at the sign of the olynomial y 3 192y 1). To cover the range from 10 to 2744, we used the same trick as before (which works, since by F 2m = L m F m, then gcd(f, L m ) = gcd(f, F 2m /F m ) gcd(f, F 2m ) = F gcd(,2m) ). To seed u the comutation we used the fact that one can choose one of the rimes, q to be 5, since a Lucas number is never divisible by 5. The only m s that assed the test were 10, 12, 15, 21, which are easily shown (by dislaying the corresonding residues) not to generate a multilicative grou structure. The only values of m, for which we do have a multilicative grous structure for F M when M = L m are m {1, 2, 3, 4}. 3. Proof of Theorem 1.3 Consider the following set of rimes { ( ) 5 P = > 5 : = 1, ( ) 11 = ( ) } 46 = 1. Here, for an integer a and an odd rime, we use ( a ) for the Legendre symbol of a with resect to. Let M be the set of M such that F M is a multilicative subgrou. We show that M is free of rimes from P. Since P is a set of rimes of relative density 1/8 (as a subset of all rimes), the conclusion will follow from the Brun sieve (see [6, Chater I.4, Theorem 3]). To see that M is free of rimes from, observe that since F 3 = 2, F 4 = 3, and F M is a multilicative subgrou, it follows that there exists n such that F n 6 (mod M). If M for some P, it follows that F n 6 0 (mod ). (3.1)
6 When do the Fibonacci invertible classes modulo M form a subgrou? 269 Since ( 5 ) = 1, it follows that both 5 and α are elements of F. With the Binet formula, we have F n = αn β n. 5 Put t n = α n, ε n = ( 1) n. Thus, β n = ( α 1 ) n = ε n t 1 n, so congruence (3.1) becomes t n ε n t 1 n 6 0 (mod ) 5 giving t 2 n 6 5 t n ε n 0 (mod ). Thus, one of the quadratic equations t t ± 1 = 0 must have a solution t modulo. Since the discriminants of the above quadratic equations are 176 = and 184 = 4 46, resectively, and since neither 11 nor 46 is a quadratic residue modulo, we get the desired conclusion. 4. Comments The bound O(x/(log x) 1/8 ) of Theorem 1.3 is too weak to allow one to decide via the Abel summation formula whether M M is finite or not. Of course Conjecture 1.1 would imly that the above sum is finite. We leave it as a roblem to the reader to imrove the bound on the counting function of M [1, x] from Theorem 1.3 enough to decide that indeed the sum of the above series is convergent. Acknowledgment.
