This article gives an alternative proof of the fact thatwhere p is an odd prime number and ζ is a primitive p-th root of unity, and uses it to prove that N Q(ζ)/Q (1 + ζ − ζ 2 ) = L(p) the p-th Lucas number. It shows a relation between this result and a generalisation of the Newman phenomenon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
