Root of unity

In mathematics, a root of unity, occasionally called a de Moivre number, is any complex number that yields 1 when raised to some positive integer power n. Roots of unity are used in many branches of mathematics, and are especially important in number theory, the theory of group characters, and the discrete Fourier transform. Roots of unity can be defined in any field. If the characteristic of the field is zero, the roots are complex numbers that are also algebraic integers. For fields with a positive characteristic, the roots belong to a finite field, and, conversely, every nonzero element of a finite field is a root of unity. Any algebraically closed field contains exactly n nth roots of unity, except when n is a multiple of the (positive) characteristic of the field. (Wikipedia).

[ANT11] Quadratic Gauss sums

Last video, we used the fact that √2 = ζ + ζ⁻¹, for ζ an 8th root of unity, to tell us about the decomposition of rational primes in Z[√2]. In this video, we see that it is also possible to write √q as a sum of roots of unity for all *odd* primes q: in fact, we write down an explicit eleme
