Abstract

We mainly study a polynomial f1,n(x)=xn1+2xn2+3xn3++kxnk++(n1)x+nf_{1,n}(x)=x^{n-1} + 2x^{n-2} + 3x^{n-3} + \cdots + kx^{n-k} + \cdots + (n-1)x + n over Z\mathbb{Z} and the Galois group of the minimal splitting field. First, we show that an arbitrary root αn\alpha_{n} of f1,n(x)f_{1,n}(x) satisfies αn1|\alpha_{n}|\to 1 (nn\to \infty), and discuss the irreducibility of f1,n(x)f_{1,n}(x) over Z\mathbb{Z} for several type nn. After that, we show that the Galois group of f1,n(x)f_{1,n}(x) is Symmetric group Sn1S_{n-1} for several type nn. Although those roots of f1,n(x)=0f_{1,n}(x)=0 don't draw an exact circle, it looks like a circle on complex plane. Moreover by considering that Galois groups of f1,n(x)f_{1,n}(x) are not abelian in many cases, we call such extension fields over Q\mathbb{Q} "Non-Abelian Cycrotomic Fields" here.
