Linear relations among roots of a polynomial

Abstract: Let

f (x)

be a monic polynomial over

m a t h b b Q

with complex roots

a l p h a_{1}, d o t s, a l p h a_{n}

. Linear relations among them and

1

over

m a t h b b Q

play an important role when we study the distribution of roots modulo a prime. We study linear relations group-theoretically. If

m a t h b b Q (a l p h a_{1})

is an abelian extension, we can understand the structure completely.
