Element 3 and set 1+(-1+3^t)*(3^(t+1))

Consider the Proth space

1+(−1+3t)∗(3t+1)1+(-1+3^t)*(3^{t+1})

We will be using generating element 3

The [sub]groups generated by 3 have low order [ a lot lower than n-1 ]

Conjecture: Order of 3 mod N when N of the form 1+(-1+3^t)*(3^(t+1)) is 6×(1+2×t)

When t=2 we have P=1+8×27 and the set of elements modulo P is a multiplicative group.


The subgroup generated by 3 has 30 elements


The elements in ENp30 are as shown next
{ 3, 9, 27, 81, 26, 78, 17, 51, 153, 25,
75, 8, 24, 72, -1, 214, 208, 190, 136, 191,
139, 200, 166, 64, 192, 142, 209, 193, 145, 1 }

If ENp30 is really a group then we need inverses so let us document those next.

  • Inverse of 3 is 145 mod P
  • Inverse of 9 is 193 mod P
  • Inverse of 27 is 209 mod P
  • Inverse of 81 is 142 mod P
  • Inverse of 26 is 192 mod P
  • Inverse of 78 is 64 mod P
  • Inverse of 17 is 166 mod P
  • Inverse of 51 is 200 mod P
  • Inverse of 153 is 139 mod P
  • Inverse of 25 is 191 mod P
  • Inverse of 75 is 136 mod P
  • Inverse of 8 is 190 mod P
  • Inverse of 24 is 208 mod P
  • Inverse of 72 is 214 mod P \\ 214==Mod((3^14),pr)^-1

We could alternatively write the group ENp30 as follows:
{ 3, 9, 27, 81, (3^5), (3^6), (3^7), (3^8), (3^9), (3^10),
(3^11), -(3^12), -(3^13), -(3^14), -1,
-3, -9, -27, -81, -(3^5), -(3^6), -(3^7), -(3^8), -(3^9), -(3^10),
-(3^11), -(3^12), -(3^13), -(3^14), 1 }
