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 Mn(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.
