Abstract: Let $K$ be a finite extension of a characteristic zero field $F$. We say that the pair of $nimesn$ matrices $(A,B)$ over $F$ represents $K$ if $KcongF[A]/<B>$ where $F[A]$ denotes the smallest subalgebra of $M_n(F)$ containing $A$ and $<B>$ is an ideal in $F[A]$ generated by $B$. In particular, $A$ is said to represent the field $K$ if there exists an irreducible polynomial $q(x)inF[x]$ which divides the minimal polynomial of $A$ and $KcongF[A]/<q(A)>$. In this paper, we identify the smallest circulant-matrix representation for any subfield of a cyclotomic field. Furthermore, if $p$ is any prime and $K$ is a subfield of the $p$-th cyclotomic field, then we obtain a zero-one circulant matrix $A$ of size $pimesp$ such that $(A,J)$ represents $K$, where $J$ is the matrix with all entries 1. In case, the integer $n$ has at most two distinct prime factors, we find the smallest 0-1 companion-matrix that represents the $n$-th cyclotomic field. We also find bounds on the size of such companion matrices when $n$ has more than two prime factors.

Review text

Let \(K\) be a finite extension of a characteristic zero field \(F\). A square matrix \(A\) over \(F\) is said to represent \(K\) if there exists a polynomial \(q\in F[X]\) which divides the minimal polynomial of \(A\) over \(F\) and an isomorphism of \(F\)-algebras between \(K\) and the quotient of the smallest subalgebra of \(M_n(F)\) containing \(A\) by the ideal generated by \(q(A)\). Using, e.g., properties of Ramanujan sums and the adjacency matrix of cyclic graphs, the authors obtain various results on representations of subfields of the field of complex numbers by circulant matrices.
