2 Let j be the Legendre symbol, that is, for j 0 mod, j = 1 or 1 according as j is or is not a quadratic residue mod A multivariable generalization of Theorem 1 follows Theorem 1 is a secial case of Theorem 2 with x 3 = = x = 0 Theorem 2 Let be an odd rime and = 1 1/2 Then there exist integer olynomials Rx 1, x 2,, x and Sx 1, x 2,, x such that 4 detcircx 1, x 2,, x x 1 + x x = Rx 1, x 2,, x 2 Sx 1, x 2,, x 2 Secifically, one can tae Rx 1, x 2,, x = A + B and Sx 1, x 2,, x = A B/ where A = B = j j = 1 and ζ is a rimitive th root of unity Proof It is well-nown [4] that x 1 + ζ j x 2 + ζ 2 j x ζ 1 j x, x 1 + ζ j x 2 + ζ 2 j x ζ 1 j x, 1 detcircx 1, x 2,, x = x 1 + ζ j x 2 + ζ 2 j x ζ 1 j x 1 x 1 + x x j The choice of R and S given above then easily satisfy the desired equation, A B 2 R 2 S 2 = A + B 2 = 4AB 1 = 4 j i x i ζ j i 1 = 4 detcircx 1, x 2,, x x 1 + x x The challenge now is to show that both R and S are olynomials with integer coefficients Let be a rime > 3, let = 1 1/2, let ζ be a rimitive th root of unity, and let K = Qζ be the cyclotomic field of th roots of unity For any integer such that 1 1, define the maing σ on K by setting σ ζ = ζ and extending the ma linearly Then K is a Galois extension of degree 1 over the rational field Q with cyclic Galois grou G = {σ 1 1} G also acts on Qζ [x 1,, x ] by setting σ x i = x i and extending the action linearly; see [2, 596ff] for details and further information 598 c THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA [Monthly 119
3 Let α = r/ ζ r and β = n/= 1 ζ n A bit of algebra shows that β = α 1 and αβ = 1 /4; thus, α = 1 ± /2 and β = 1 /2, for some choice of signs The set of maings H = {σ / = 1} is a subgrou of G of index 2, whose fixed field is the quadratic field Qα Note that both A and B are in Zζ [x 1,, x ] We now show that A + B Z[x 1,, x ] and that A B Zα[x 1,, x ] The roduct rule for the Legendre symbol states that if j and are relatively rime to then j j = Thus, if = 1, then relacing ζ by ζ in A and B ermutes the factors of A and the factors of B Similarly, if = 1, then relacing ζ by ζ in A and B exchanges the factors of A with the factors of B It follows that if = 1, then the action of σ on Qζ [x 1,, x ] fixes both A and B, while if = 1, then the action of σ on Qζ [x 1,, x ] interchanges A and B We conclude that σ A + B = A + B for all, so that A + B is invariant under the action of every element of the Galois grou G Thus, the coefficients of A + B lie in the fixed field of G, namely the rational field Q, and so A + B Q[x 1,, x ] But A + B Zζ [x 1,, x ], so it follows that R = A + B is a olynomial with integer coefficients We now turn to S = A B/ By revious results, the coefficients of A and B are in the field fixed by the index-2 subgrou H of the Galois grou G, namely Qα Since A, B Zζ [x 1,, x ], it follows that both A and B are in Zα[x 1,, x ] Hence, there exist olynomials f = f x 1,, x and g = gx 1,, x with integer coefficients such that A = f + gα Let n be a fixed quadratic nonresidue mod The nontrivial automorhism of Qα sends α to β As A is not fixed by σ n, we see that σ n α = β Hence, B = σ n A = σ n f + gα = f + gβ It follows that A B = gα β, where g has integer coefficients Then, by revious wor and a little more algebra, we see that α β = ± It follows that S = A B a olynomial with integer coefficients = ±g = ±g, In the case when 1 mod 4, the functions R and S given in Theorem 2 are not unique The Pell equation x 2 y 2 = 1 2 has infinitely many integer solutions for any rime see [1] Since x 2 1 y2 1 x 2 2 y2 2 = x 1x 2 + y 1 y 2 2 x 1 y 2 + x 2 y 1 2, any solution x, y to equation 2 may be used in conjunction with the solution R, S in Theorem 2 to roduce another air of olynomials August Setember 2012] NOTES 599
4 R = x R + ys, S = x S + y R which mae Theorem 2 wor Indeed, infinitely many such R and S exist The olynomials R and S raidly grow in size For = 5, one has and R = 2 x 1 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 3 x 2 x x 2 2 x 1 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 x 4 x 2 x x x 5 2 x 1 x 5 x 4 x x 4 2 S = x 2 x 4 x 1 x 4 + x 4 x 3 + x 5 x 4 x 5 x 3 + x 3 x 2 + x 1 x 5 x 1 x 3 + x 2 x 1 x 2 x 5 For = 7, R has 84 terms and S has 56 terms A simle alication of Theorem 2 involves a determinant considered by Wendt in conjunction with Fermat s Last Theorem The so-called Wendt determinant is defined by W n = det circ n, 0 n, 1 n n,, 2 n 1 E Lehmer claimed later roved by JS Frame [5, 128] that W n = 1 n 1 2 n 1u 2 for some u N Since n 1 n = 2 n 1, =0 if n is an odd rime, Theorem 2 imlies 2u 2 = R 2 S 2 for some integers u, R, and S This equation clearly has a trivial solution if S = 0 This situation occurs when 1 mod 4 since B = 1 + ζ j 1 j = 1 = j = = A The first few cases where S = 0 are j 1 + ζ j ζ j = , = , 600 c THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA [Monthly 119
