Chinese Remainder Theorem for Cyclotomic Polynomials in $\mathbf{Z}[X]$
Abstract
By the Chinese remainder theorem, the canonical map is an isomorphism when is a field whose characteristic does not divide and is the th cyclotomic polynomial. When is the ring of rational integers, this map is injective but not surjective. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the elementary divisors of the cokernel of (when ) using the prime factorisation of . We also give a pictorial algorithm using Young Tableaux that takes bit operations for any to determine a basis of Smith vectors (see Definition 3.1) for the codomain of . In general when is an integral domain, we prove that the determinant of written with respect to the standard basis is , where 's are pairwise relatively prime monic polynomials and is the resultant of and .
