The minimal polynomial satisfied by the primitive generator












0












$begingroup$


I am trying to do the following problem that appears in Dummit and Foote book. But I have no idea how to start the problem. Can anyone please give me a hint? Thank you.



Section 14.5, Problem #1(Page#603): Determine the minimal polynomials satisfied by the primitive generators given in the text for the subfields of $mathbb{Q(zeta_{13})}$.

          I’ll show you a trick that I use, really just a variation of what’s obvious, but organized so that you can trap careless errors. I promise you that I did this all by hand, no machine aid.



          I’ll attack the “simplest” one, finding the minimal polynomial (it has to be quadratic) for $xi=zeta+zeta^3+zeta^4+zeta^9+zeta^{10}+zeta^{12}$. I’m going to be consistent in rewriting this and all quantities so as to use the fact that $zeta^{13}=1$. In particular, we have
          $$
          0=zeta^6+zeta^5+zeta^4+zeta^3+zeta^2+zeta+1+zeta^{-1}+zeta^{-2}+zeta^{-3}+zeta^{-4}+zeta^{-5}+zeta^{-6},.
          $$

          And then, calculating,
          $$
          begin{matrix}
          xi=&zeta^4&+zeta^3&+zeta&+zeta^{-1}&+zeta^{-3}&+zeta^{-4}\
          xi^2=&zeta^8&+2zeta^7&+2zeta^5&+2zeta^3&+2zeta&+2\
          &&+zeta^6&+2zeta^4&+2zeta^2&+2&+2zeta^{-2}\
          &&&+zeta^2&+2&+2zeta^{-2}&+2zeta^{-3}\
          &&&&+zeta^{-2}&+2zeta^{-4}&+2zeta^{-5}\
          &&&&&+zeta^{-6}&+2zeta^{-7}\
          &&&&&&+zeta^{-8},,
          end{matrix}
          $$

          in which you collect like terms, using $zeta^8=zeta^{-5}$ etc., to get
          $$
          begin{align}
          xi^2&=3zeta^6+3zeta^5+2zeta^4+2zeta^3+3zeta^2+2zeta+6+2zeta^{-1}+3zeta^{-2}+2zeta^{-3}+2zeta^{-4}+3zeta^{-5}+3zeta^{-6}\
          &=-zeta^4-zeta^3-zeta+3-zeta^{-1}-zeta^{-3}-zeta^{-4}\
          &=-xi+3,,
          end{align}
          $$

          in which I subtracted $3$ times zero to go from the first line to the second. And so you see that $xi^2+xi-3=0$.
