Cyclotomic units. #
We gather miscellaneous results about units given by sums of powers of roots of unit, the so-called cyclotomic units.
Main results #
IsPrimitiveRoot.associated_sub_one_pow_sub_one_of_coprime
: given ann
-th primitive root of unityζ
, we have thatζ - 1
andζ ^ j - 1
are associated for allj
coprime withn
.IsPrimitiveRoot.associated_pow_sub_one_pow_of_coprime
: given ann

, we have thatζ ^ i - 1
andζ ^ j - 1
are associated for alli
andj
coprime withn
.IsPrimitiveRoot.associated_pow_add_sub_sub_one
: given ann
-th primitive root of unityζ
, where2 ≤ n
, we have thatζ - 1
andζ ^ (i + j) - ζ ^ i
are associated for all andj
coprime withn
and alli
.
Implementation details #
We sometimes state series of results of the form a = u * b
, IsUnit u
and Associated a b
.
Often, Associated a b
is everything one needs, and it is more convenient to use, we include the
other version for completeness.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ,
we have that ζ - 1
and ζ ^ j - 1
are associated
for all j
coprime with n
.
pow_sub_one_mul_geom_sum_eq_pow_sub_one_mul_geom_sum
gives an explicit formula for the unit.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ
, we have that ζ ^ j - 1
and ζ ^ i - 1
are
associated for all i
and j
coprime with n
.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ
, we have that ζ - 1
is associated to any of its
conjugate.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ
, we have that two conjugates of ζ - 1
are associated.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ
, where 2 ≤ n
, we have that ∑ i ∈ range j, ζ ^ i
is a unit for all j
coprime with n
. This is the unit given by
associated_pow_sub_one_pow_of_coprime
(see
pow_sub_one_mul_geom_sum_eq_pow_sub_one_mul_geom_sum
).
Similar to geom_sum_isUnit
, but instead of assuming 2 ≤ n
we assume that j
is a unit in
A
.
The explicit formula for the unit whose existence is the content of
associated_pow_sub_one_pow_of_coprime
.
Given an n
-th primitive root of unity ζ
, where 2 ≤ n
, we have that ζ - 1
and
ζ ^ (i + j) - ζ ^ i
are associated for all and j
coprime with n
and all i
. See
pow_sub_one_eq_geom_sum_mul_geom_sum_inv_mul_pow_sub_one
for the explicit formula of the
unit.
If p
is prime and ζ
is a p
-th primitive root of unit, then ζ - 1
and η₁ - η₂
are
associated for all distincts p
-th root of unit η₁
and η₂
.
