Abstract
In this paper we obtain some novel identities involving trigonometric functions. Let be any positive odd integer. We show that for any complex number with , and for all complex numbers and with . We also determine the values of and for any odd prime . In addition, we pose several conjectures on the values of with an odd prime and a root of unity.
