Symmetry of the Hilbert symbol: $(a, b)_F = (b, a)_F$, since the equation $ax^2 + by^2 = 1$ is equivalent to $by^2 + ax^2 = 1$.
Bilinearity in the second argument when $(a, b)_F = 1$: in that case,
$(a, bc)_F = (a, c)_F$. Follows from symmetry and hilbert_mul_of_eq_one.
The image of $p$ under the reduction map $\mathbb{Z}_p \to \mathbb{Z}/p$ is zero.
(Textbook Theorem 10.7, exponents in $\{0, 1\}$) For an odd prime $p$, exponents $\alpha, \beta \in \{0, 1\}$, and units $u, v \in \mathbb{Z}_p^\times$, the Hilbert symbol of $p^\alpha u$ and $p^\beta v$ is given by $$(p^\alpha u, p^\beta v)_p = (-1)^{\alpha\beta \cdot \frac{p-1}{2}} \left(\tfrac{u}{p}\right)^\beta \left(\tfrac{v}{p}\right)^\alpha.$$
Reduces a padicPowerUnitZ (integer exponent) to a padicPowerUnit ($\{0, 1\}$ exponent)
inside the Hilbert symbol, using square-invariance: $p^{2k} \cdot$(anything) leaves the Hilbert
symbol unchanged.
(Textbook Theorem 10.7, general form with integer exponents) For an odd prime $p$, integer exponents $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z}$, and units $u, v \in \mathbb{Z}_p^\times$, the Hilbert symbol of $p^\alpha u$ and $p^\beta v$ is $$(p^\alpha u, p^\beta v)_p = (-1)^{|\alpha|\,|\beta|\,\frac{p-1}{2}} \left(\tfrac{u}{p}\right)^{|\beta|} \left(\tfrac{v}{p}\right)^{|\alpha|}.$$
