Abstract

Let n3n\ge 3 be a square-free natural number. We explicitly describe the inverses of the matrices (2sin(2πjk/n))j,k\mboxand(2cos(2πjk/n))j,k, (2\sin(2\pi jk^*/n))_{j,k} \enspace \mbox{ and }\enspace (2\cos(2\pi jk^*/n))_{j,k}, where kk^* denotes a multiplicative inverse of kk mod nn and j,kj,k run through the set {l;1ln/2,(l,n)=1}\{l; 1\le l\le n/2, (l,n)=1\}. These results are based on the theory of Gauss sums.
