Minimal polynomial of cos(π/n)
I know that $\cos(\pi/n)$ is a root of the Chebyshev polynomial $(T_n + 1)$, in fact it is the largest root of that polynomial, but often that polynomial factors. For example, if $n = 2 k$ then $\cos(\...

For which $n$ is this ring an euclidean domain?
Let $f_n(x)=x^n-\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n-1}{x^i}$ and $A_n$ the number field corresponding to $f_n$.
Question: Is $A_n$ for all $n$ an euclidean domain? Is there a good choice for an euclidean function?
