Abstract: Let $p$ be an odd prime. For any $p$-adic integer $a$ we let $overlinea$ denote the unique integer $x$ with $-p/2<x<p/2$ and $x-a$ divisible by $p$. In this paper we study some permutations involving quadratic residues modulo $p$. For instance, we consider the following three sequences. �egin{align*} &A_0: overline{1^2}, overline{2^2}, cdots, overline{((p-1)/2)^2},\ &A_1: overline{a_1}, overline{a_2}, cdots, overline{a_{(p-1)/2}},\ &A_2: overline{g^2}, overline{g^4}, cdots, overline{g^{p-1}}, end{align*} where $$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ and $1le{a}_1<a_2<cdots<a_{(p-1)/2}lep-1$ are all quadratic residues modulo $p$. Obviously $A_i$ is a permutation of $A_j$ and we call this permutation $sigm{a}_{i,j}$. Sun obtained the sign of $sigm{a}_{0,1}$ when $pequiv3pmod4$. In this paper we give the sign of $sigm{a}_{0,1}$ and determine the sign $sigm{a}_{0,2}$ when $pequiv1pmod4$.
