In our quest to provide explicit expressions for the coefficients of the minimal polynomials of these intermediate subextensions in the cyclotomic field, we discovered fascinating \\\\ characterizations, some of which are linked to the well-known Catalan numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-17T08:47:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "field extensions", "intermediate subextensions", "minimal polynomials", "well-known catalan numbers", "arbitrary base field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
