This question already has an answer here:



  • showing that $n$th cyclotomic polynomial $Phi_n(x)$ is irreducible over $mathbbQ$

    6 answers



I have no idea what cyclotomic polynomials are and how we can get the result using that. Is there another way to prove it? Any hint is appreciated.

  • @DietrichBurde as I said; we don't know what cyclotomic polynomials are. Our professor asked us this knowing that fact. There must be some other way to prove it.

  • I see. Still I think it's worth to look up what a cyclotomic polynomial is, and you asked anyway how we can get the result using that polynomial.

  • Hrit, the $BbbQ$-dimension of $BbbQ[zeta_n]$ is by definition the degree of the minimal polynomial $Phi_n(x)$ of $zeta_n$, which obviously is $phi(n)$; see the duplicate.

If $zeta_n$ is primitive, then $zeta_n^jneq zeta_n^k$ whenever $n nmid (k-j)$. Knowing this you could write $mathbb Q [zeta_n]$ concretely. The major point is $(zeta_n^j)_gcd(j,n)=1$ is a $mathbb Q$-basis of $mathbb Q [zeta_n]$.
