Minimal polynomial of roots of unity #
We gather several results about minimal polynomial of root of unity.
Main results #
IsPrimitiveRoot.totient_le_degree_minpoly: The degree of the minimal polynomial of ann-th primitive root of unity is at leasttotient n.
μ is integral over ℤ.
The reduction modulo p of the minimal polynomial of a root of unity μ is separable.
The reduction modulo p of the minimal polynomial of a root of unity μ is squarefree.
If p is a prime that does not divide n,
then the minimal polynomials of a primitive n-th root of unity μ
and of μ ^ p are the same.
If m : ℕ is coprime with n,
then the minimal polynomials of a primitive n-th root of unity μ
and of μ ^ m are the same.
If m : ℕ is coprime with n,
then the minimal polynomial of a primitive n-th root of unity μ
has μ ^ m as root.
primitiveRoots n K is a subset of the roots of the minimal polynomial of a primitive
n-th root of unity μ.
The degree of the minimal polynomial of μ is at least totient n.
