This note describes a conjecture involving cyclotomic polynomials and some initial thoughts towards a solution. Given positive integers $m,n$, the conjecture is that either $\Phi_m(q)\leqslant\Phi_n(q)$ or $\Phi_m(q)\geqslant\Phi_n(q)$…
Using the cyclotomic identity we compute sums over d-tuples of monic polynomials in F_q[x] weighted by the multiplicity of their irreducible factors. As consequences we determine explicit expressions for the number of d-tuples of…
Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers, and let $p$ be a prime. Let $T(x)=\Phi_{p^m}\left(\Phi_{2^n}(x)\right)$, where $\Phi_k(x)$ is the cyclotomic polynomial of index $k$. In this article, we prove that $T(x)$ is irreducible over $\mathbb…
A cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd prime factors. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Eli…
We show that the equation in the title (with $\Phi_m$ the $m$th cyclotomic polynomial) has no integer solution with $n\ge 1$ in the cases $(m,p)=(15,41), (15,5581),(10,271)$. These equations arise in a recent group theoretical investigation…
Cyclotomic polynomials are basic objects in Number Theory. Their properties depend on the number of distinct primes that intervene in the factorization of their order, and the binary case is thus the first nontrivial case. This paper sees…
Dimensions of objects in fusion categories are cyclotomic integers, hence number theoretic results have implications in the study of fusion categories and finite depth subfactors. We give two such applications. The first application is…
We build a new theory for analyzing the coefficients of any cyclotomic polynomial by considering it as a gcd of simpler polynomials. Using this theory, we generalize a result known as periodicity and provide two new families of flat…
We study an analogue of a classical arithmetic problem over the ring of polynomials. We prove that $m = 5$ is the minimal number such that the sums of any two distinct polynomials in a set of $m$ polynomials over $\F_2[x]$ cannot all be of…
A vanishing sum of roots of unity is called minimal if no proper, nonempty sub-sum of it vanishes. This paper classifies all minimal vanishing sums of roots of unity of weight at most 16 by hand, thereby uncovering new phenomena beyond the…
We say that a cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_{n}(x) has order three if n is the product of three distinct primes, p<q<r. Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of a coefficient of \Phi_{n}(x) and M(p) be the maximum of A(pqr). In 1968, Sister…
Let $g(f)$ denote the maximum of the differences (gaps) between two consecutive exponents occurring in a polynomial $f$. Let $\Phi_n$ denote the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial and let $\Psi_n$ denote the $n$-th inverse cyclotomic polynomial.…
Evaluating or finding the roots of a polynomial $f(z) = f_0 + \cdots + f_d z^d$ with floating-point number coefficients is a ubiquitous problem. By using a piecewise approximation of $f$ obtained with a careful use of the Newton polygon of…

This paper presents a novel primality test based on the eigenvalue structure of circulant matrices constructed from roots of unity. We prove that an integer $n > 2$ is prime if and only if the minimal polynomial of the circulant matrix $C_n…
In this article we study the irreducibility of polynomials of the form $x^n+\epsilon_1 x^m+p^k\epsilon_2$, $p$ being a prime number. We will show that they are irreducible for $m=1$. We have also provided the cyclotomic factors and…
The paper presents analogues of some Vieta formulas for quaternionic polynomials of the form $R_n(w)=\sum\limits_{m=0}^{n}A_mx^m$. A criterion for the sphericity of the root (zero) of a polynomial $R_n(w)$ is established.
We get some results about the factorization of $\phi_p(M) \in {\mathbb{F}}_2[x]$, where $p$ is a prime number, $\phi_p$ is the corresponding cyclotomic polynomial and $M$ is a Mersenne prime (polynomial). By the way, we better understand…
We give two determinantal representations for a bivariate polynomial. They may be used to compute the zeros of a system of two of these polynomials via the eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem. The first determinantal…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial to be divisible by a cyclotomic polynomials and derive new formulas involving Ramanujan sums as an application of our results. Additionally, we provide new insights into the…
