Abstract

Let an(k) be the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial Φn(x). As n ranges over the integers, an(k) assumes only finitely many values. For any such value v we determine the density of integers n such that an(k) = v. Also we study the average of the an(k). We derive analogous results for the kth Taylor coefficient of 1/Φn(x) (taken around x = 0). We formulate various open problems.


Keywords

Coefficient of cyclotomic polynomial, prime, density, partition.
