Consider a multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$, denoted by $\mathbb{Z}_n^*$. Any element $a{\in}\mathbb{Z}_n^*$ is said to be a semi-primitive root if the order of $a$ modulo $n$ is ${\phi}(n)/2$, where ${\phi}(n)$ is the Euler phi-function. In this paper, we discuss some interesting properties of the multiplicative groups of integers possessing semi-primitive roots and give its applications to solving certain congruences.

Consider a multiplicative group of integers modulo n, denoted by $\mathbb{Z}_n^*$. Any element $a{\in}\mathbb{Z}_n^*$ n is said to be a semi-primitive root if the order of a modulo n is $\phi$(n)/2, where $\phi$(n) is the Euler phi-function. In this paper, we classify the multiplicative groups of integers having semi-primitive roots and give interesting properties of such groups.

In this paper, the fundamental theorem of Galois Theory is used to generalize cyclotomic polynomials and construct irreducible polynomials associated with the n-th primitive roots of unity.
