Abstract

Given a subset of C\mathbb C containing x,yx,y, one can add x+y,xy,xyx + y,\,x - y,\,xy or (when y0y\ne0) x/yx/y or any zz such that z2=xz^2=x. Let pp be a prime Fermat number. We prove that it is possible to obtain from {1}\{1\} a set containing all the pp-th roots of 1 by 12p212 p^2 above operations. This result is different from the standard estimation of complexity of an algorithm computing the pp-th roots of 1.
