A residue of odd multiplicative order has its order as an exponent

Proved
OddPerfectNumber.Kernel.odd_order_dvd_pow_card_sub_one

by WillR · Oct 1, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

Let p be a prime and t a natural number with p not dividing t, and suppose the multiplicative order of t modulo p is odd. Then t raised to the order of t is congruent to 1 modulo p. Together with the accepted OddPerfectNumber.geom_sum_dvd_implies_order_dvd, which shows that any prime dividing a geometric sum 1 + t + ... + t^(2e) has order dividing the odd number 2e+1, this packages the first-equation fact that every sigma-source of a prime has odd multiplicative order at that prime.
