Quadratic characters on ℤ/nℤ

This file defines some quadratic characters on the rings ℤ/4ℤ and ℤ/8ℤ.

We set them up to be of type MulChar (ZMod n) ℤ, where n is 4 or 8.

Quadratic characters mod 4 and 8

We define the primitive quadratic characters χ₄on ZMod 4 and χ₈, χ₈' on ZMod 8.

def ZMod.χ₄ : MulChar (ZMod 4) ℤ
