Existence of linear disjointness between an algebraic number field and $p$-cyclotomic field over $ \mathbb{Q}$
Suppose $ K $ be an algebraic number field and $ n $ be an even integer. Is it possible to find atleast one $ p $ such that $ p\equiv 1( \text{mod}~ n)$ and $ \mathbb{Q}(\eta_p) $ is linearly disjoint ...

Elliptic units as Euler systems
I’m trying to understand elliptic units in order to work with the Euler systems of the abelian extensions of quadratic imaginary number fields. I’ve looked at few references about the topic, but they ...

Toward a cyclotomic Riemann hypothesis
For an integer $n \ge 3$, consider the function $$u(n) = \frac{\sigma(n)}{n \log \log n}$$ with $\sigma$ the divisor function. Now consider the sequence (bounded below and decreasing) $$v_n = \sup_{m&...

A sum involving roots of unity
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\zeta$ be a primitive $n$th root of unity. It is not hard to show that
\begin{align*}
\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac{\zeta^k}{1-\zeta^k}=\frac{1-n}{2}.
\end{align*}
Since $\...
