Canada. MathematicsSubjectClassication(1991):Primary11R09; K.-K.ChoiisaPacicInstituteofMathematicsPostdoctoral Secondary:11Y99 We characterize all cyclotomic polynomials of even degree with coefficients restricted to the setf+1, 1g. In this context a cyclotomic polynomial is any monic polynomial with integer coefficients and all roots of modulus 1. Inter alia we characterize all cyclotomic polynomials with odd coefficients. The characterization is as follows. A polynomial P(x) with coefficients1 of even degree N 1 is cyclotomic if and only if P(x) =ol p1 (x) ol p2 (x p1 )ol where N = p 1 p 2p r pr (x p1p2p r 1 ), and the p i are primes, not necessarily distinct, and where ol p (x) := (x p 1)/ (x 1) is the p-th cyclotomic polynomial. We conjecture that this characterization also holds for polynomials of odd degree with1 coefficients. This conjecture is based on substantial computation plus a number of special cases.
