cyclotomicField -- cyclotomic field construction

Synopsis

Description

i1 : S = cyclotomicField (5)

o1 = S

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : isField S

o2 = true
i3 : r = S_0

o3 = ww
       5

o3 : S
i4 : (r^9, r^10, r^11)

          3     2
o4 = (- ww  - ww  - ww  - 1, 1, ww )
          5     5     5           5

o4 : Sequence
i5 : T = S[x,y]

o5 = T

o5 : PolynomialRing
i6 : I = ideal (x-r)

o6 = ideal(x - ww )
                 5

o6 : Ideal of T
i7 : dim I

o7 = 1

Caveat

Strange things can happen with the reduction of the coefficients. In M2 v <= 1.2 dimension is off by one.

For the programmer

The object cyclotomicField is a function closure.
