Abstract

A unitary cyclotomic polynomial of order three is a polynomial of the form ΦPQR(x)=(xPQR1)(xP1)(xQ1)(xR1)(xPQ1)(xQR1)(xRP1)(x1), \Phi^*_{PQR}(x)=\frac{(x^{PQR}-1)(x^P-1)(x^Q-1)(x^R-1)}{(x^{PQ}-1)(x^{QR}-1)(x^{RP}-1)(x-1)}, where PP, QQ and RR are powers of three distinct primes pp, qq and rr. Fixing any such prime triple generates a family of these polynomials corresponding to all possible choices of P=paP=p^a, Q=qbQ=q^b and R=rcR=r^c. We study the coefficients of polynomials in such a family. In particular, we show that the coefficients of polynomials in every such family cover all of Z\mathbb{Z}.
