The prime-orbit decomposition conjecture for vanishing sums of roots of unity
The prime-orbit decomposition conjecture for vanishing sums of roots of unity
Let denote the set of -th roots of unity. For every prime factor of and , let
be the corresponding -orbit of -th roots of unity, whose elements sum to zero. Prime-orbit decomposition conjecture. Any subset of with sum zero is a disjoint union
where each is a -orbit and is a prime factor of . The claim proposes a general structural description of vanishing subsets of roots of unity; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved, so its status remains open.
