<p>Let say Z is a sum of n-roots of unity and thus an algebraic integer, and D is an rational integer. If |z+D| is an integer, what can we conclude regarding Z? can we say |Z| is integer? Another related question is, for which non-zero D, we can conclude |Z| is integer from the given that |Z+D| is an integer?</p>

<p>If I have k algebraic integers like a_1, ..., a_k such that the sum of their n-power are integer for n=1, ...m can we deduce that a_1, ..., a_k are integers? how large m should be? (how many power sum should be integers to deduce all a_i's are integers)</p>

<p>If P(x) is a polynomial in Q[X], is there any iff theorem that states all the roots of P(x) are rational based on the coefficients?! In another words, what could you impose on the coefficients to make sure a polynomial in Q[x] will split over Q.</p>

<p>If G is a group and A and B to non-empty subsets of G, then by AB we mean the set consist of all product ab where a is in A and b is in B.(Standard definition) Similarly we can define X^m where X is a non-empty subset and m is a positive integer. So X^m for positive integer m, means the set of all products of length m taken from X.</p> <p><strong>If G is a group of size n, and X is a non-empty subset of G then prove that X^n is a subgroup of G.</strong></p> <p>this is quite easy to prove for abelian groups, so I mostly like to see a short nice proof for the general case.</p>

<p>If Z is a sum of t distinct roots of unity and |Z| is a rational integer, can someone find a bound on |Z| in terms of k=deg(Q(Z):Q))?</p> <p>Clearly we need to have distinct roots of unity otherwise this won't work! </p> <p>Correction: Let assume that Z is not rational itself otherwise obviously it's wrong. Here I hope to extend the proof of Kronecker thm! I have "Z is a sum of t distinct roots of unity and |Z| is a rational integer" I conjecture that either Z is rational or a root of unity!</p>

<p>Does anyone know an answer to this question? Question: In an cyclotomic field which algebraic integers have integer absolute value?</p> <p>Revision 1: -1</p> <p>I like to add this to the above question, Let's take w to be a primitive n-th root of unity, for which set of exponents A of {0,1,...n-1} we have the absolute value of the sum_{i \in A} w^i is an integer. this might not be any help to make it solvable but at least avoid some repetitions</p>

So, what is this telling us regarding Z and |Z|?!!
