The virtual periods of linear recurrence sequences in cyclotomic fields

Number Theory 2021-10-05 v3

Abstract

A linear recurrence sequence in a cyclotomic field produces a sequence of the generating fields of each term. We show that the later sequence is periodic after removing the first finite terms, and give a bound of its period. This can be applied to exponential sums.
