I may mention three more special problems in number theory: one on the laws of reciprocity, one on diophantine equations, and a third from the realm of quadratic forms.

9. PROOF OF THE MOST GENERAL LAW OF RECIPROCITY IN ANY NUMBER FIELD.

For any field of numbers the law of reciprocity is to be proved for the residues of the

th power, when
