The Roots of Unity for a Composite Exponent m and the Cyclotomic Field They Generate

David Hilbert

Chapter 22 in The Theory of Algebraic Number Fields, 1998, pp 167-173 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Let m be an arbitrary positive rational integer; set Z = e 2π i/m . The m-th degree equation $${x^m} - 1 = 0$$ has the m roots $$Z,{Z^2},...,{Z^{m - 1}},{Z^m} = 1.$$
