Abstract: Abstract Let p be an odd prime and $$\ell \in {\mathbb {N}}$$ ℓ ∈ N . We prove that the sum of cubic residues of $$p^\ell $$ p ℓ with even index equals the sum of cubic residues of $$p^\ell $$ p ℓ with odd index if and only if $$p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$$ p ≡ 1 ( mod 4 ) . We also prove that for $$2p^\ell $$ 2 p ℓ , $$p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$$ p ≡ 1 ( mod 4 ) is sufficient but not necessary for the two sums to be equal. We also present a closed-form expression for the sum and study some properties.
