A von Staudt-type result for _z Z_n[i] z^k

Abstract: In this paper we study the sum of powers in the Gaussian integers

m a t h b f G_{k} (n) := s u m_{a, b i n [1, n]} (a + b i)^{k}

. We give an explicit formula for

m a t h b f G_{k} (n) p m o d n

in terms of the prime numbers

p e q u i v 3 p m o d 4

with

p m i d m i d n

and

p - 1 m i d k

, similar to the well known one due to von Staudt for

s u m_{i = 1}^{n} i^{k} p m o d n

. We apply this formula to study the set of integers

n

which divide

m a t h b f G_{n} (n)

and compute its asymptotic density with six exact digits:

0.971000 l d o t s

.
