View on Github →feat(ring_theory/roots_of_unity): degree of minimal polynomial (#5475)
This is the penultimate PR about roots of unity and cyclotomic polynomials: I prove that the degree of the minimal polynomial of a primitive n
th root of unity is at least nat.totient n
.
It's easy to prove now that it is actually nat.totient n
, and indeed that the minimal polynomial is the cyclotomic polynomial (that it is hence irreducible). I decided to split the PR like this because I feel that it's better to put the remaining results in ring_theory/polynomials/cyclotomic
.
