about the symbol in number theory Kronecker delta In number theory , the Kronecker symbol , written as math left frac an right math or a n , is a generalization of the Jacobi symbol to all integer s n .

Let a be an integer. The Kronecker symbol a n is defined by math left frac a n right left frac a u right prod i 1 k left frac a p i right e i . math For odd number odd p sub i sub , the number a p sub i sub is simply the usual Legendre symbol . This leaves the case when p sub i sub 2. We define a 2 by math left frac a 2 right begin cases 0 & mbox if a mbox is even, 1 & mbox if a equiv pm1 pmod 8 , 1 & mbox if a equiv pm3 pmod 8 . end cases math Since it extends the Jacobi symbol, the quantity a u is simply 1 when u 1. When u 1, we define it by math left frac a 1 right begin cases 1 & mbox if a 0, 1 & mbox if a ge 0. end cases math Finally, we put math left frac a0 right begin cases 1& text if a pm1, 0& text otherwise. end cases math These extensions suffice to define the Kronecker symbol for all integer values n . Unlike the Jacobi symbol, the Kronecker symbol math tfrac a n math is not a Dirichlet character to the modulus n , because math a equiv b pmod n math does not imply math tfrac a n tfrac b n math when n is even.
