Abstract
Let be a product of distinct primes. Define to be the polynomial . (When , is the -th cyclotomic polynomial, and when , is times the -th cyclotomic polynomial.) Let the height of a polynomial be the maximum absolute value of one of its coefficients. It is well known that the height of is 1, and Gallot and Moree showed that the same is true for when . We show that the coefficients of depend mainly on the relative order of sums of residues of the form . This allows us to explicitly describe the coefficients of when and show that the height of is at most 2 when . We also show that for any there exist with height 1 but that in general the maximum height of is a function depending only on with growth rate .
