Jacobi's original tables use 10 or –10 or a number with a small power of this form as the primitive root whenever possible, while the second edition uses the smallest possible positive primitive root (Fletcher 1958). The term "canon arithmeticus" is occasionally used to mean any table of indices and powers of primitive roots.
In number theory, a kth root of unity modulo n for positive integers k, n ≥ 2, is a root of unity in the ring of integers modulo n; that is, a solution x to the equation (or congruence) ().
If g is a primitive root modulo p, then g is also a primitive root modulo all powers p k unless g p −1 ≡ 1 (mod p 2); in that case, g + p is. [14] If g is a primitive root modulo p k, then g is also a primitive root modulo all smaller powers of p. If g is a primitive root modulo p k, then either g or g + p k (whichever one is odd) is a ...
For n = 1, the cyclotomic polynomial is Φ 1 (x) = x − 1 Therefore, the only primitive first root of unity is 1, which is a non-primitive n th root of unity for every n > 1. As Φ 2 (x) = x + 1, the only primitive second (square) root of unity is −1, which is also a non-primitive n th root of unity for every even n > 2.
neither 3 nor 12 is a primitive root of q the only safe primes that are also full reptend primes in base 12 are 5 and 7 q divides 3 ( q −1)/2 − 1 and 12 ( q −1)/2 − 1, same as 3 ( q −1)/2 ≡ 1 mod q and 12 ( q −1)/2 ≡ 1 mod q (per Euler's criterion )
In mathematics, a primitive root may mean: Primitive root modulo n in modular arithmetic; Primitive nth root of unity amongst the solutions of z n = 1 in a field; See ...
The polynomial x 2 + 2x + 2, on the other hand, is primitive. Denote one of its roots by α. Then, because the natural numbers less than and relatively prime to 3 2 − 1 = 8 are 1, 3, 5, and 7, the four primitive roots in GF(3 2) are α, α 3 = 2α + 1, α 5 = 2α, and α 7 = α + 2. The primitive roots α and α 3 are algebraically
In mathematics, a principal n-th root of unity (where n is a positive integer) of a ring is an element satisfying the equations α n = 1 ∑ j = 0 n − 1 α j k = 0 for 1 ≤ k < n {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&\alpha ^{n}=1\\&\sum _{j=0}^{n-1}\alpha ^{jk}=0{\text{ for }}1\leq k<n\end{aligned}}}
