Abstract: This article studies the Galois groups that arise from division points of the lemniscate. We compute these Galois groups two ways: first, by class field theory, and second, by proving the irreducibility of lemnatomic polynomials, which are analogs of cyclotomic polynomials. We also discuss Abel's theorem on the lemniscate and explain how lemnatomic polynomials relate to Chebyshev polynomials.
