Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cells form a horizontal cycle of length n within a row if, by repeatedly jumping to the column indicated by each cell's digit, it takes n jumps to return to the starting position - e.g. C2=4 -> C4=1 -> C1=9 -> C9=2 -> C2=4
A vertical cycle within a column is defined in a similar way - e.g. R7=3 -> R3=5 -> R5=7 -> R7=3

- All cells marked with a circle belong to both a horizontal AND a vertical cycle of length n, where n is the digit in that cell.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the connected circle.

really very nice puzzle, comfortable solve with certain mathematical knowledge, possibly considerably harder without that (but still at most 4/5 I would say).
also, this puzzle reminded me of kolot's wonderful Real vs Imaginary puzzle.
